Iron elevation and adipose tissue remodeling in the epididymal depot of a mouse model of polygenic obesity.

Iron elevation and adipose tissue remodeling in the epididymal depot of a mouse model of polygenic obesity.

<h4>Background</h4>Iron dysregulation is a potential contributor to the pathology of obesity-related metabolic complications. KK/HIJ (KK) mice, a polygenic obese mouse model, have elevated serum iron levels. A subset of KK male mice display a bronzing of epididymal adipose tissue (eAT) a...
