Effects of TUDCA treatment upon fat depots and liver lipids accumulation. Epididymal (eWAT), retroperitoneal (rpWAT), inguinal (iWAT), and perirenal (prWAT) fat pads weight (A). Serum triglyceride (B) and cholesterol (C). H&E sections of Ctl, Old, and Old + TUDCA in eWAT (D) (scale bar 50 µm, 20 × magnification). Epididymal WAT adipocyte area (E) and number (F). Liver triglyceride (G) and cholesterol (H) content. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 5–10). Statistical analysis was performed using the one-way ANOVA test, followed by Tukey post-hoc-test. Letters shared in common between groups indicate no significant difference. Different letters (a, b, and c) indicate statistical difference between groups (P ≤ 0.05).
