Key result

Aging through the life-span of Fisher 344 rats resulted in a remarkably complex pattern of changes in both the size and number of fat cells in the epididymal depot.

Implication

Aged rat adipocyte data should not inform human care; leaves open lifelong adipose cellularity dynamics in mammals.

PICO

Population

Fisher 344 strain rats evaluated at 9, 13, 26, 52, 104, and 130 weeks of age to study cellular characteristics of the epididymal depot.
