Figure 1

Histology of epididymal adipose tissue (a) and mean adipocyte surface area (b). KKAy mice were given a LF, a HF, HF containing 2.5% AP (HF/AP 2.5%) or HF containing 5.0% AP (HF/AP 5.0%) for 7 weeks. White adipose tissue around the testis was removed, fixed in 10% neutral-buffered formalin, paraffinized and stained using HE (a). Mean surface area for epididymal white adipocytes was measured using Image J software (b). Details of the diets are given in the “Materials and Methods” section. Data represent means ± SDs for seven sections per group. Tukey's test: ** versus LF; ## versus HF.
