Figure 5From: The combination of high-fat diet-induced obesity and chronic ulcerative colitis reciprocally exacerbates adipose tissue and colon inflammationPercentage of epididymal adipose tissue in relation to body (A), adipocyte area (B) and average of number of crown-like structures (C) of mice from control and HFD groups (receiving standard chow or HFD, respectively) or colitis and colitis + HFD groups (receiving the respective diets and treated with 2 cycles of DSS [3%] to induce ulcerative colitis). Bars indicate the means, and vertical lines indicate standard error. n = 5 per group. Statistical tests: One-way ANOVA + Newman-Keuls post-test. Different letters indicate p < 0.05. n = 12-14 per group in (A) and (C) and 4-5 per group in (B).Back to article page
