To test whether adipose tissue F4 / 80 + cells shared a common bone marrow origin with other
tissue macrophage populations, we transplanted bone marrow from C57BL / 6J mice expressing the CD45.1 leukocyte marker into 6 - week - old lethally irradiated C57BL / 6J mice expressing the CD45.2 leukocyte marker.

tissue macrophages are the primary sources of TNF - α and other proinflammatory molecules in adipose
tissue.
Of the three adipose
tissue cell

To determine whether adipose
tissue macrophages express any molecules implicated in obesity - associated complications, we isolated three cell

macrophage F4 / 80 +
population, and (c) an F4 / 80 — stromal vascular
