Immunofluorescent staining for adiponectin and leptin in infra- and suprapatellar fat pads. Immunofluorescent staining in the vitamin D-deficient (VDDef), vitamin D-sufficient (VDSuff), and vitamin D-supplemented (VDSupp) group infrapatellar fat is shown for adiponectin (a, d, g), leptin (j, m, p), 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (b, e, h, k, n, q), merged adiponectin-DAPI (c, f, i), and merged leptin-DAPI (l, o, r). The mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of adiponectin and leptin with average adipocyte count (s) in infrapatellar fat, and the MFI of adiponectin and leptin with average adipocyte count in suprapatellar fat (t), is shown for VDDef, VDSuff, and VDSupp swine. These are the representative images of five swine each in the VDDef and VDSuff groups and three swine in the VDSupp group. Data are shown as mean ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01
