Figure 3

Effect of chronic semicarbazide ingestion on the cellularity of visceral adipose tissues. Adipocytes isolated from visceral adipose tissues were subjected to size analysis and counted according to the indicated distribution of cell diameter classes (a). Mean fat cell diameter was calculated (b) while DNA was extracted from pieces of visceral WAT and determined as described in Section 2 (c). Mean ± SEM of six mice per group. Different from control at , , .
