(A) Morphology of BAT and cell number counting. BAT morphology and UCP1 protein analysis after HBO. Partial BATs were cut into 5-μm sections stained using hematoxylin-eosin staining (400×) and numbers of cell from the same unit areas were counted (HFD: n = 3; HFD+HBO: n = 4; T2DM: n = 3; T2DM+HBO: n = 4). (B) UCP1 protein expression levels in BAT were measured (HFD: n = 3; HFD+HBO: n = 3; T2DM: n = 4; T2DM+HBO: n = 4). Data are presented as means ± SEM. Normal baric oxygen (NBO). Scale bar = 200 μm. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 (compared with T2DM group), #P < 0.05 (compared with HFD group), ∧P < 0.05 (compared with HFD+HBO group).
