The effects of C. hypnaeoides on the mass and morphology of white adipose tissue in C57BL/6J mice fed a high-fat diet. After the mice were sacrificed, the mass of the epididymal, retroperitoneal, and mesenteric white adipose tissue was determined (A). Adipose tissue was fixed and the section of epididymal adipose tissue was stained with hematoxylin and eosin (C). The average diameter of adipocytes was determined (B). Normal, normal diet; HF, high-fat diet; HF + ChL, high-fat diet mixed with 2% C. hypnaeoides; HF + ChH, high-fat diet mixed with 6% C. hypnaeoides. Each value represents the mean ± SD (n = 8). Statistical significance: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 versus HF group, ##p < 0.01 versus Normal group. Scale bar = 100 μm
