Change in body composition and serum biochemical parameters in response to long-term H2 intervention. (A) Change in body weight and body fat composition measured by micro-CT (B). (C–D) Change in the volume of subcutaneous (green in panel B) and visceral fat (yellow in panel B) quantified by the Analyze12.0 software (PerkinElmer) from the micro-CT data. Mass of total WAT and BAT are presented in (E) and (F), respectively. Graphs in (G–J) summarize our previous finding of serum lipids of rats exposed to H2 for 6 months24. The data of the level of epinephrine (L) in serum and the activity of HSL from rat liver lysates (K) are presented. Data are shown as Mean ± SEM. *p value < 0.05; **p value < 0.01; ***p value < 0.001.
