Lipolytic and Lipophagic Effects of Pinellia ternata Pharmacopuncture on Localized Adiposity

Figure 1

Schematic diagram of sample treatment (a). Morphological changes of the inguinal fat pad (b) and representative picture from DXA (c). Red dots indicate the deposition of fat tissues visualized by the DXA program. The ratio of inguinal fat pad weight (d). The inguinal fat was weighed by DXA. Representative picture of histological changes of fat tissues (e) and quantified fat diameter of adipocyte (f). Localized adiposity and size of adipocyte were evaluated stained with H&E. Results are presented as mean ± standard deviation. and vs. saline-treated right-side fat as self-control. PT, Pinellia ternata.
