OJe reduced the development of adipose tissue in overfed zebrafish. Histological examination of abdominal tissue of sagittal sections, performed through hematoxylin and eosin staining, showed the rise of visceral (E) and subcutaneous (F) fat depots in the OF group (B) but not in the NF group (A). Five weeks of OJe treatment reduced visceral adipose tissue area in OF fish (D,E) without affecting the subcutaneous area (D,F). The morphometric fat analysis showed that NF fish had no significant changes in either visceral (C,E) or subcutaneous (C,F) adipose tissue areas. Photos (A–C) are representative of that (three per section) taken in 10 fish per group. The values in graphs (E) and (F) are expressed in µm² of adipose tissue per section. Scale bars correspond to 1 mm. Data presented in the graphs are the mean ± SD of 10 fish per each group. *** p < 0.001 vs. respective counterpart; ° p < 0.001 vs. NF.
