Figure 6.
Representative images of H&E-stained left ventricle in longitudinal sections in Normal, OB (Obese control), and OB + OR (obese and orlistat 10 mg/kg/day) groups (magnification ×400, scale bar = 50 μm). Normal group revealed a normal architecture of cardiomyocyte cells which were lined in homogenous pattern. The OB and OB + OR groups exhibited significant increases of cardiomyocyte diameter when compared to Normal group in conjunction with high infiltration of inflammatory cells in OB group (yellow arrow). a p < 0.05 compared with Normal group. Data were analyzed by One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post-hoc test.
