From: Identification of biomarkers of brown adipose tissue aging highlights the role of dysfunctional energy and nucleotide metabolism pathways

Figure 6

Expression of marker genes is enriched in mature adipocyte fraction. (a) mRNA levels of nutrient/ energy metabolism genes and of nucleotide metabolism genes (b) assessed in SVF (white bars) and mature adipocytes (grey bars) isolated from BAT of 2.5-months old mice. Genes (see Suppl. Table S5 for full gene names) are organized according to pathway enrichment in the proteome analysis of the same age groups (Table 1). For each gene, data are expressed as percentage of BAT-derived SVF. Data are shown as mean ± SD (n = 4 for all groups); *p < 0.05; assessed using non-parametric Mann–Whitney test.
