From: Trehalose itself plays a critical role on lipid metabolism: Trehalose increases jejunum cytoplasmic lipid droplets which negatively correlated with mesenteric adipocyte size in both HFD-fed trehalase KO and WT mice

Effect of drinking water containing trehalose on intracytoplasmic lipid droplets in jejunal epithelium. Representative images (400x) of hematoxylin-eosin staining in sections of jejunum are shown (a) Oil Red O staining showing the presence of neutral lipids in jejunal intracytoplasmic vacuoles (b) intraepithelial lipid ratio (%) in the jejunal epithelium determined using the image software cellSens (c). Values are shown as means ± standard deviation (n = 7–8). Statistical analysis was performed using a Steel-Dwass test. The values indicate that the statistical significances were p < 0.05. KO/HFD groups vs. KO/CE-2/Water: #p < 0.05
