Effects of yacon flour on the adipose tissue of HFD-fed rats and adipogenesis-related genes. (a) Representative photomicrographs of visceral adipose tissue sections stained with H&E (original magnification 126X). (b) Adipocytes size in visceral adipose tissue. qPCR analysis of visceral fat from rats fed standard diet (SD) or high-fat diet (HFD) supplemented or not with yacon flour (680 mg FOS/kg body weight: HFD Y680) after 8 weeks of treatment: PPAR-γ2: peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma2 (c); C/EBP-a: CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (d); aP2: activating protein 2 (e). Data were normalized to Actin mRNA and expressed as fold change over the SD rats. Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation of triplicate qPCR analysis (n=6/group). ^a p < 0.05 vs. SD, ^b p < 0.05 vs. HFD.
