Effect of ambient temperature on the proliferation of endothelial cells in interscapular fat of Syrian hamsters. Interscapular fat tissues were obtained from 10- or 16-day-old Syrian hamsters bred at 23 °C or 30 °C. a Representative images of interscapular fat sections (10-day-old) stained with antibody against Ki67 (red) and Maackia amurensis agglutinin (MAM) lectin (green). Scale bar 100 µm. b The proportion of cells double positive for Ki67 and MAM lectin relative to the total MAM-stained cells was measured. c Representative images of interscapular fat sections (16-day-old) stained with MAM lectin (green). Scale bar 100 µm. d The proportion of MAM-stained area relative to the whole tissue area was measured (mean ± SE, n = 4 per group, Student’s t test). Asterisk indicates significant difference at P  < 0.05 compared with the 23 °C group (colour figure online)
