Fig. 5. The results of epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) mRNA expression by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and histopathological findings of white adipose tissue in each group. (A) Genes are related to adipokine and lipogenesis. (B~D) Samples were done by hematoxylin and eosin staining (×200). (B) It represents the size of the adipocyte area in NC group, (C) represents HFD group, and (D) represents BIT group. (E) It is the statistical results comparing the size of the adipocyte area among three groups. NC: normal control, HFD: high-fat diet, BIT: Baekhogainsam-tang, LPL: lipoprotein lipase, PPAR-γ: peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ. ^#p<0.05, ^##p<0.01, ^###p<0.001, ^####p<0.0001 (#: vs. NC). ^*p<0.05, ^**p<0.01, ^****p<0.0001 (*: vs. HFD).
