Figure 8. Reduced induction of genes associated with thermogenesis in BAT in both WT and DKO mice after cold exposure in the fasted state.

The mice were maintained at room temperature or in a cold room (4°C) for 4 h with or without prior fasting. The total RNA from BAT was extracted for quantitative real-time PCR. n = 4–5/group. *p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001.
