Pathological analysis of adipose tissue. a Representative pictures of visceral adipose accumulation of each group at 16 weeks. b Total mass of subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue was collected and measured. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. n = 9-10 for each group at 8 weeks and 5 for each group at 16 weeks. **P < 0.01 or *P < 0.05 vs. the control group. c Representative micrographs of adipose tissue stained with H&E. The HFFD group (right) showed hypertrophic (larger) adipocytes compared with the control group (left). d Morphometric analyses of adipocyte cell size distribution and mean diameter were determined using the specimens obtained from rabbits at 16 weeks. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. n = 5 for each group. **P < 0.01 or *p < 0.05 vs. the control group
