Interscapular brown adipose tissue surgery (iBATx) does not cause a compensatory induction of UCP-1 protein across adipose tissue depots. UCP-1 protein content in iBAT, subscapular BAT (sBAT), periaortic BAT (paBAT), subcutaneous white adipose tissue (SQAT), and epididymal white adipose tissue (EAT) from chow-fed mice is shown as representative blot of a pooled sample of 3 animals from the same treatment group and densitometric analysis of 3 pooled samples (i.e., total of 9 animals/group). Pooled sample was loaded at 8 µg/lane and optimized for within- and between-tissue comparisons. Values are means ± SE. ^ΦEffect of all white adipose tissue depots (P < 0.05).
