Adipose tissue analysis in ovariectomized (OVX) rats treated with the Styphnolobium japonicum fruit (SJF) and germinated soybean embryo (GSE) complex extract. (A) Representative images of the perirenal adipose tissue (left panel). Fat weight (right panel). Scale bar, 1 cm. (B) Representative images of lipid droplets (left panel). Lipid droplet size (right panel). Scale bar, 100 µm. The complex extract was prepared by blending the SJF and GSE. 17β-estradiol (E2) was used as a positive control. The results are presented as means ± standard deviation (n = 3). *** p < 0.001, vs. the sham group; ## p < 0.01, ### p < 0.001, vs. the OVX group.
