Anti-obesity effect of L. plantarum LMT1-48 in HFD-fed mice. (A) Experimental scheme. (B) Body weight, (C) epididymal fat weight, and (D) fat volume were measured to assess for the anti-obesity effect of L. plantarum LMT1-48 in mice. (E) Representative micro-computed tomography (CT) images of the abdominal fat at L2–L3 region. The visceral and subcutaneous fats are depicted in purple and green colors, respectively. (F) Serum levels of the leptin hormone were measured via ELISA (G) The adipocyte size in the visceral adipose tissue was measured. Two independent experiments were performed with n = 5 for each experiment. Error bars represent standard error of the mean (Mean ± SEM). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001.
