Effect of CIHH on pathological morphology of the liver, kidney and spleen tissues in rats. a H & E staining of liver (× 100). There were steatosis, and irregular hepatic cord arrangement in DIO rats; b H & E staining of kidney (× 200). There was mild hydropic degeneration of renal tubular epithelial cells in DIO rats; c H & E staining of spleen (× 40). There were increased splenic nodules and grown lymphoid tissue in DIO rats. CON: control group, CIHH: CIHH group, DIO: dietary-induced obesity group, DIO + CIHH: DIO + CIHH group. All data are expressed as the mean ± SD; n = 6 for each group
