Codeletion of TFE3 with FLCN reverses the browning of white fat. (A) Breeding scheme to obtain FLCN/TFE3 double-deficient male mice. (B) H&E staining of iWAT from animals of the noted genotypes. Bar, 100 µm. (C–F) relative mRNA expression from brown/beige fat-specific genes (C), nuclear encoded mitochondrial genes (D), mitochondria-encoded mitochondrial genes (E), and creatine futile cycle genes (F). (*) P < 0.05; (**) P < 0.01 versus FLCNlox/lox. n = 8 per group. Values are represented as mean ± SEM.
