Effect of repeated ingestion of flavan-3-ols on the uncoupling proteins. Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP-1) in brown adipose tissue (a), uncoupleing protein 2 (UCP-2) in liver (b) and white adipose tissue and uncoupleing protein 3 (UCP-3) (c) in gastrocnemius and soleus were measured for 24 h after 2 weeks repeated ingestion of flavan-3-ols by western blotting analysis as described in Materials and Methods. The protein level was expressed the ratio of enzymes to α-tubulin. Values are means and SD of 6 mice. *p < 0.05 vs control group (t test).
