Detection of Atg5 and Atg7 expression in visceral fat of WOKW and LEW.1 W rats by immunofluorescence. A significantly higher immunofluorescence intensity of Atg5 and Atg7 was found in visceral fat of WOKW rats compared with LEW.1 W control animals (Figure 2A, B). Both proteins could only be detected in stromal cells of the adipose tissue (arrow), rather in adipocytes directly (star; Figure 2B and f). Scale bars: 15 μm (a - h); 30 μm (b’- h’).
