Preventive administration of green tea extract (GTE) suppresses visceral adipose tissue (VAT) accumulation in juvenile zebrafish. (a) Scheme of the experimental design. (b) Representative images from live zebrafish juveniles after performing two Nile red staining processes shown in (a). vat, visceral adipose tissue (VAT); sb, swim bladder; control, HFD-treated control juvenile. (c) Quantification of the intensity of the Nile-red-signal-positive area. The y axis shows the ratio of two Nile red staining processes performed compared with the control group. * p < 0.05 vs. control, n = 5. Error bars indicate the standard deviation (SD).
