Moderate alcohol intake induces beige adipogenesis and prevents obesity in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity. C57BL6 male mice were fed CD (CD/water), HFD (HFD/water), and HFD plus 8% (w/v) alcohol (HFD/alcohol) for 1 mo. A) Body weight. B) Food intake. C) Total caloric intake. D) Representative images showing WAT. E) Adipose tissues weight. F) Representative images of iWAT (green arrows indicate beige adipocytes). G) Average iWAT adipocyte diameter. H) RAL and RA in serum. I) RAL and RA in iWAT. J) Aldh1a1 expression in iWAT. K) Adh1 expression in iWAT. L) Glucose tolerance test. M) AUC of glucose tolerance test (G.T.T). N) Insulin tolerance test. O) Serum triacylglycerol levels. P) Serum free fatty acid levels. Q) iWAT mRNA levels. *P < 0.05 (n = 8, mean ± sem).
