Fig. 3

A H&E-stained BAT sections of NC-fed and HFD-fed mice. Scale bars = 100 μm. B Immunoblots of UCP1 in BAT of NC-fed and HFD-fed mice. C mRNA expression of thermogenesis-related genes in BAT of NC-fed and HFD-fed mice. D, E mRNA expression of beige-related genes in iWAT (D) and eWAT (E) of NC-fed and HFD-fed mice. Data are mean ± SEM, n = 5–8. Significance was determined by one-way ANOVA. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs. NC + Veh mice; #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, vs. HFD + Veh mice.
