Effect of Continuous Feeding of Ayu-Narezushi on Lipid Metabolism in a Mouse Model of Metabolic Syndrome

Figure 2

Micrographs of visceral fat in the Tsumura Suzuki obese diabetes (TSOD) mice that were fed the ayu-narezushi (a, c) or control (b, d) chow. The samples are from mice at 8 and 24 weeks of age. The size of the visceral adipocytes in the ayu-narezushi group (a) is remarkably smaller than that of the control group (b) at 24 weeks of age, although they are comparable between the two groups (c, d) at 8 weeks of age (×200 magnification). Bar = 100 μm.
