Bacteroides uniformis CECT 7771 Ameliorates Metabolic and Immunological Dysfunction in Mice with High-Fat-Diet Induced Obesity (original) (raw)
Figure 4
Distribution of adipocyte size in epididymal adipose tissue in control mice and mice with high fat diet-induced obesity, administered or not B. uniformis CECT 7771.
SD: standard diet group (control) (n = 6); SD+B: standard diet group receiving a daily dose of 5.0×108 CFU B. uniformis CECT 7771 by gavage for 7 weeks (n = 6); HFD: high fat diet group (n = 6); HFD+B: high fat diet group receiving a daily dose of 5.0×108 CFU B. uniformis CECT 7771 by gavage for 7 weeks (n = 6). Adipocyte cell sizes were expressed as area ranges and were the following: <2000, 2000–4000, 4000–6000 and 6000–7000 µm2. Data are expressed as means ± SD and statistically significant differences are established at P<0.05. Photomicrographs 20X of representative HE-stained slides are shown. (B) SD group, (C) SD+B group, (D) HFD group and (E) HFD+B group.
