To investigate adipocyte formation within ingWAT during obesity, 6-week-old AdipoCre-NucRed mice received either pAAV–CAG–GFP or pAAV–CAG–Rspo2 by tail-vein injection and 2 weeks after infection, mice were switched to HFD or continued on a chow diet for another 10 weeks (Fig. 4g). Here, RSPO2 is linked to infection.
