Hypertrophy and/or Hyperplasia: Dynamics of Adipose Tissue Growth
Figure 5
Changes of cell-size distributions with the mass increase of epididymal fat pad under chow and high-fat diets.
Initial cell-size distributions of five-week-old control mice are given at the first row of each column with dashed lines. Dots show experimental results. Note that the results are ordered with epididymal fat pad mass, not with the chronological time (weeks of controlled feeding) shown in parentheses. Solid lines represent the normalized cell-size distributions corresponding to the given epididymal fat pad mass, predicted by the adipose tissue growth model.
