Figure 4. Long-term effects of neonatal cigarette smoke exposure on brown adipose tissue (BAT) functional parameters in male and female offspring. UCP1, β3-AR, TRα1, TRβ1, PGC1α, and CPT1a protein contents in BAT at 180 postnatal days. Representative blots of the proteins are shown beside the graphs. β-Actin content was used as control loading. C: control group; SE: smoke-exposed group. Data are reported as means±SE for n=7–8. *P<0.05 (t-test).
