HFF-induced obese C57BL/6J mice were treated with UP601 at oral doses of 300, 450 and 600 mg/kg for 7-weeks. Orlistat (ORI) at 40 mg/kg was used as a reference compound. Tissue collections were carried out at necropsy. NC Normal control + vehicle, HFF HFF + Vehicle, ORI HFF + orlistat, UP601 HFF + indicated concentrations of UP601 (mg/kg). * P ≤ 0.05 compared to HFF group; † P ≤ 0.001 compared to HFF group; ‡ P ≤ 0.0001 compared to HFF group
