Figure 3. Levels of mitochondria-associated pro-survival proteins in brown adipose tissue of euthermic (EC) and torpid (LT) thirteen-lined ground squirrels.

Figure 3

(A) Histogram showing mean relative expression levels of Bcl-2, p-Bcl-2 T56, p-Bcl-2 S70, Bcl-xL, Mcl-1, and BI-1 (± S.E.M., n = 4 independent protein isolations from different animals). (B) Representative Western blots are shown and sampling points are labeled to the left and right of the gel; sample numbers (lanes) are labeled along the top indicating 4 control samples (i.e. EC lanes 1, 2, 3, 4) and 4 torpid samples (i.e. LT lanes 5, 6, 7, 8). Data were analyzed using the Student’s t-test; * values are significantly different from EC, p < 0.05.
