Pistachio consumption reduces visceral fat accumulation. Transverse micro-CT images of the abdomen (A) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) volumes (B) in lean, HFD, and HFD-P mice belonging to reversal protocol. Histological cross-sections of VAT from lean (C), HFD (D), and HFD-P mice (E). Hematoxylin and eosin stain. Original magnification: ×200. VAT weight (F), VAT weight normalized to body weight (fat index) (G), and adipocyte diameter (H) in lean, HFD, and HFD-P mice. Data are the means ± S.E.M. (n = 8/group). Asterisk denotes significant difference compared with the lean group (*** p < 0.001); hash denotes significant difference compared with the HFD group (^# p < 0.05; ^## p < 0.01; ^### p < 0.001).
