A series of marker genes including Tcf21 for WAT, Zic1 for BAT depots, Ucp1 and Lhx8 for BAT and beige depots and Tmem26, Cd137, Tbx1 and Epsti1 for beige depots were used to examine the mRNA expression patterns of the newly identified fat pads, including supraclavicular, anterior cervical, axillary, anterior subcutaneous, suprascapular, supraspinal, ventral spinal, infrascapular regions and in the perirenal area in mice under control, β3 agonist-treated and cold-stimulated conditions (n=6). Results are shown as mean ± SD, *p <0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001.
