Post-administration of Palmaria mollis (PM) in overfed diet-induced obese (DIO)-zebrafish. (A) Schedule of PM supplementation in zebrafish Experiment 1. Overfeeding and PM supplementation started on week 0 and 2, respectively. (B) Body weight change during Experiment 1. (C) Volume of visceral adipose tissues (VAT) in week 6. (D–E) PM suppressed increases in plasma triacylglycerol (TG; D) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C; E) in DIO-zebrafish. (F) Lipid accumulation in liver tissues. Lipid droplets (red spots) increased in DIO-zebrafish compared to control. Lower graph indicates the quantification of red signals. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 vs. control. n = 7–10, error bars indicate standard deviations (SD).
