Sudachitin reduces fat in high-fat diet-fed mice. (A) Body composition was assessed by computed tomography, with the relative body fat content, subcutaneous fat content (g/body weight; B) and visceral fat content (g/body weight; C) quantified. Adipocyte size was measured after 12 weeks of treatment with sudachitin or vehicle (D). Hematoxylin/eosin staining of WAT after 12 weeks of feeding in vehicle- (upper panel) and sudachitin-treated (lower panel) mice (E). Values are mean ± standard deviation (A-C). *P < 0.05 sudachitin administration vs. control treatment, # P < 0.05 high fat diet vs control diet. Cont + Veh: vehicle-treated, control diet group (closed squares in panel A); Cont + Sud: sudachitin-treated, control diet group (open squares); HFD + Veh: vehicle-treated, high-fat diet group (closed circles); HFD + Sud: sudachitin-treated, high-fat diet group (open circles).
