Anti-adipogenic and anti-obesity activities of purpurin in 3T3-L1 preadipocyte cells and in mice fed a high-fat diet

Table 5 Effect of purpurin on white adipose tissue (WAT) weight, morphometry, and triglyceride contents

	SD	HFD	HFD 40	HFD 80
WAT weight (g)	0.40 ± 0.07^c	2.03 ± 0.21^a	2.00 ± 0.54^a	1.41 ± 0.46^b
Triglyceride (mg/WAT)	5.17 ± 0.21^d	54.3 ± 1.0^a	47.9 ± 1.2^b	25.34 ± 0.28^c
Diameter of adipose cells (μm)	247 ± 47^d	654 ± 17^a	528 ± 35^b	364 ± 36^c

Data are expressed as the mean ± SD of 10 mice experiments. Values sharing a common letter are not significantly different at p < 0.05
