Body weight (a), body weight gain (b), epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) weight (c), ratio of eWAT weight to body weight (d), adipocyte number (e) and adipocyte size (f) in water-control and fructose-pair-fed rats. The fructose control rats had free access to 10% fructose in their drinking of water over 5 weeks, while the consumption of fructose in the ginger-(20 or 50 mg/kg) treated (by gavage daily) rats was adjusted to that of the fructose-control rats. Data are means ± SEM ( each group).
