Fig. 1 — Effects of electroacupuncture on mean adipocyte area in ob/ob mice. Quantification of adipocyte size in the H&E staining of adipocytes in ob/ob mice and ob/ob mice treated with EA (a). Ob/ob mice were treated with EA once in every second days for three times (3 T) or seven times (7 T) following the age of 20 weeks. H&E staining showing a decrease in adipocyte size in EA treatment mice, compared with obese mice. Distribution of adipocyte sizes indicates a shift in the size of the adipocyte population toward larger hypertrophied cells, reflected in a significant increase in the mean adipocyte size in ob/ob mice animals (b). Results are the means ± S.E.M. *P < 0.05, compared with C57BL/6 J mice, #P < 0.05, compared with ob/ob mice. EA, electroacupuncture. 3 T, three times EA treatment. 7 T, seven times EA treatment
