Features of metabolic syndrome in WT mice. A, After a HFD for 8 weeks (Metabolic Syndrome = MetS) and B, 2 weeks (Initial Metabolic Syndrome = I-MetS), there was increase in visceral fat tissue seen in mesenteric PVAT, epididymal fat pads, adipocyte hypertrophy and hyperintense areas displaying fat depots in magnetic resonance imaging. Elevation of blood pressure was seen in MetS and I-MetS groups. C, Comparative table of weight and metabolic parameters (n = 10–15 mice/group). Data are presented as mean ± SEM, n = 10-20 mice/group, **P <0.01, ***P < 0.001, na = not applicable.
