  1. Values are mean ± SD (n = 11–12/group). Differences between values were analyzed by Student’s t-test. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001 vs. control. BAT, brown adipose tissue; gWAT, gonadal white adipose tissue; QFM, quadriceps femoris muscle; rWAT, retroperitoneal white adipose tissue; sWAT, subcutaneous white adipose tissue.
