Effects of MH on body fat composition and epididymal white adipose tissue (WAT). (a) Body fat mass was measured; (b) epididymal WAT weight was normalized by tibia length; (c) adipose histology was examined by using hematoxylin and eosin (H & E) staining (magnifications of ×20); (d) acidified toluidine blue staining for mast cells (arrow pointed) (magnifications of ×40). Data were presented as means ± SEM (𝑛=5). A:  𝑃<0.05 versus ND; bar = 50 𝜇m.
