Figure Lengend Snippet: SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus capture levels, observed by fluorescence levels read in a microplate reader at excitation of 506 nm and emission of 517 nm (Green Reporter assay), in 2D and 3D cell cultures of human subcutaneous preadipocytes (C: Control group, cells with no treatment; ACE2: cells with ACE2 expression optimized; ACE2+PV: ACE2 cells with ACE2 expression optimized and exposed to SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus (PV); and ACE2+I+PV: ACE2 cells with ACE2 expression optimized, treated with 20 nM irisin for 24 h, and exposed to SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus (PV)). All groups were analyzed in triplicated samples and tested with ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s test. ** P < 0.01; n.s., not significant.
