A and B: effects of chronic fourth ventricular (4V) oxytocin (OT) infusions on adipocyte size in inguinal white adipose tissue (IWAT) and epididiymal white adipose tissue (EWAT) in male chow-fed and diet-induced obese (DIO) mice. A: adipocyte size (pixel²) was measured in IWAT from mice that received chronic 4V infusion of OT (16 nmol/day) or vehicle (n = 9–10/group). B: adipocyte size was measured in EWAT from mice that received chronic 4V infusion of OT (16 nmol/day) or vehicle (n = 9–10/group). One-way ANOVA; data are expressed as means ± SE. *P < 0.05 OT vs. vehicle.
