Microscopy was performed using an Olympus BX61 VS120-S5 Virtual Slide Scanning System with UPlanSApo 40×/0.95 objective, Olympus XM10 monochrome camera, and Olympus VS-ASW FL 2.7 imaging software. Additionally, images were acquired using an Olympus FV1000 Confocal Microscope with UPlanFLN 40×/1.30 oil objective and Olympus FV-ASW version 4.2 imaging software. Live cell culture imaging was performed using an Olympus IX81 with LUCPlan FLN 20×/0.45 objective, Olympus XM10 monochrome camera and Olympus CellSens 1.13 software. Analysis and quantification were performed using Olympus CellSens 1.13, MetaMorph Premier 7.7.0.0, Adobe Photoshop CS6, and ImageJ software.

Quantitative Microscopic Analysis of Adipose Markers

Microscopy was performed using an Olympus BX61 VS120-S5 Virtual Slide Scanning System with UPlanSApo 40×/0.95 objective, Olympus XM10 monochrome camera or Allied vision Pike F-505C color camera, and Olympus VS-ASW FL 2.7 imaging software. Confocal images were acquired using an Olympus FV1000 Confocal Microscope with UPlanFLN 40×/1.30 oil objective and Olympus FV-ASW version 4.2 imaging software. Perilipin-1 quantification was performed by thresholding the image to exclude non-specific staining and then calculating the area of each lipid deposit encircled by perilipin-1 (excluding those in the epi- or perimysium) using MetaMorph software (Molecular Devices). The total area encircled by perilipin-1 was calculated for all lipid deposits across the muscle and expressed relative to the total cross-sectional area. PDGFRα and AnxA2 positive area was calculated using CellSens software (Olympus) by thresholding to remove non-specific staining and calculating the total positive area (again, excluding any epi- or perimysial staining) relative to the entire muscle cross-section.

A detailed description of methods used appears in SMM. Confocal fluorescence images were acquired with an Olympus Fluoview 1000 or FV1200 SPECTRAL Laser scanning confocal microscope with 488, 594, and 647 nm laser excitations and an Olympus UPlanFLN- 40×/1.30 oil objective. Confocal images were taken as z-stacks with 5–9 slices per image before being projected as 2D images. Image acquisition and primary image processing were done using Fluo View™ software.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
