B Liver-to-bodyweight ratio of male mice after a 12-week HFD. n = 7/group. C HE and oil red stain of liver cells of male mice after a 12-week HFD. Scale bars: 50 μm. D MicroCT image of iWAT and eWAT of male mice after a 12-week HFD. E Tissue weight of iWAT, eWAT, and BAT of male mice after a 12-week HFD. n = 7/group. F HE staining of iWAT, eWAT, and BAT of male mice after a 12-week HFD. Scale bars: 50 μm. G Serum insulin level in overnight fasted male mice after a 12-week HFD. n = 6–7/group.
