Notably, consistent with our observation that ADAM17-deficient adipose tissues exhibited reduced mass and adipocyte size (Figure 3A–K) and the animals were protected protection from insulin resistance (Fig. 4H-L), histopathological analysis of crown-like structures (which are synonymous within macrophage infiltration [85]) from WATs show that the eWAT from the KOs had fewer inflammatory infiltrates (Fig. S5A). This evidence concerns the gene ADAM17 and Insulin resistance.
