Ang(1–7) treatment decreased visceral adipose tissue mass and adipose leptin in db/db mice. A Image depicting SCAT and EAT from db/db mice treated with NS, Ang(1–7), and Ang(1–7) combined with A779. B Weight of VAT. C Weight of SCAT D Levels of TC in EAT. E Levels of TG in EAT. F Levels of leptin in EAT. G Levels of adiponectin in EAT. Data are represented as mean ± SEM from n = 3–5. *p < 0.05 versus NS group, ^##P < 0.01 versus Ang(1–7) group by one-way ANOVA. Ang(1–7), angiotensin(1–7); NS, normal saline; SCAT, subcutaneous adipose tissue; EAT, epididymal adipose tissue; VAT, visceral adipose tissue; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides
