Figure 1 Schematic of the dietary intervention and sample collection timeline. This diagram outlines the key timeline of the animal experiment. C57BL/6 mice were assigned to either a chow diet or high-fat diet regimen. Obesity was induced by high-fat diet feeding from week 0 to 10. Glucose assessment was performed at week 17. At week 18, mice were sacrificed after fasting, and orbital venous blood, fatty liver tissue, and adipose tissue were collected for subsequent analyses.
