Pharmacological Properties of a Traditional Korean Formula Bojungchiseup-tang on 3T3-L1 Preadipocytes and High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity Mouse Model

Figure 3

Effect of BJT on the lipid accumulation in epididymal adipose tissue of HFD-induced obese mice. At the end of the experimental period, the weight of epididymal adipose tissue was measured (a) and then divided by the body weight of mice (b). The hematoxylin/eosin staining images are shown at the magnification 100x (c). The average diameter of adipocytes in epididymal adipose tissue of each group (d). qRT-PCR was performed to determine the mRNA level of PPARγ (e), C/EBPα (f), and SRBP1 (g). The values are represented as . ^# and ^### vs. CON; , , and vs. HFD group; significances were determined using one-way ANOVA followed by a Dunnett’s post hoc test.
