Interscapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT) surgery (iBATx) increases aortic stiffness in normal chow-fed mice. A: aortic stiffness as determined by pulse wave velocity (PWV) in normal chow- and Western diet-fed mice following sham operation or iBATx. B and C: aortic uncoupling protein-1 (UCP-1) content and Western blot images. D: ratio of intima-media thickness (IMT) to lumen radius of the thoracic aorta. E: histological images of thoracic aorta stained for Verhoeff-Van Gieson. Magnification ×10 with ×10 objective. Values are means ± SE; n = 9–10/group. *Effect of iBATx (P < 0.05).
