Figure 5.
Representative histological pictures of abdominal adipose tissue sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin (bar = 20 μm) and Masson’s trichrome (bar = 100 μm). Massive amount of inflammatory cells, fibrosis and adipocyte hypertrophy are visible mainly in the Fructose and Fructose + Prazosin rats. Slight inflammation involving mostly septa are seen in the Fructose + MH-76 rats, which suggested the anti-inflammatory effect of this compound.
