Immunohistochemistry using human anti-CD68 for macrophages for epicardial, mediastinal and subcutaneous adipose tissues of obese CAD and control groups. CD68+ cells (macrophages) are observed in the epicardial, mediastinal and subcutaneous adipose tissues of obese CAD group (A, B and C) and control group (D, E and F). CD68+ cells (upwards arrow) between normal and large adipocytes (black asterisks) are identified in the adipose tissues. These findings were endorsed by qRT-PCR of CD68 mRNA expression in all three adipose tissues of the study group. Magnification: x 40 for A, B, C, D, E and F.
