Male ICR mice were fed ND and HFD in the presence or absence of SV, 3% and 5% FCC for 12 weeks (n = 10 per group). Fresh epididymal adipose tissue was fixed in 10% formalin, embedded in paraffin, sectioned at a thickness of 5 μm and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). All images are shown at 200× magnification.
