Effect of CORT on epididymal WAT weight and adipocyte size of mice.

<p>(<b>A</b>) Weight of epididymal white adipose tissue (WAT) and (<b>B</b>) relative contribution of epididymal WAT to total body weight in mice treated with 100 µg/ml corticosterone (CORT) or vehicle for 4 weeks. (<b>C</b>) Paraffin sections of epididymal WAT of mice treated with CORT or vehicle were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Scale bar: 100 µm. (<b>D</b>) The average adipocyte cell area of epididymal fat in mice treated with CORT or vehicle. Data are expressed as group means ± SEM (n = 6 by group). * <i>P</i><0.05 compared with vehicle.
