AS extract reduces adipose tissue weight, white adipocyte size and liver accumulation in obese rats.

<p>Coefficients of (<b>A</b>) epididymal adipose tissue and (<b>B</b>) liver were calculated after rats had fasted for 12 h at the end of experiment according to the following equation: coefficient = tissue (g/rat)/weight (g/rat). (<b>C</b>) Epididymal adipose tissue and (<b>D</b>) liver were stained with hematoxylin and eosin for histopathological examination. Images were acquired at 400× magnification on a light microscopy. Values are expressed as mean ± SE (n = 6). Significant differences were observed between normal and HFD groups. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 vs. normal group; ^#P < 0.05, ^##P < 0.01, ^###P < 0.001 vs. model group.
