(A) Effect of brown fat-specific Cre recombinase expression on uniporter protein levels on the Mcu[fl/fl] background.
(B) Left: representative Ca2+ uptake traces in isolated brown fat mitochondria energized with glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) + rotenone in the presence of guanosine diphosphate (GDP). Right: quantification of Ca2+ uptake rates (n = 4).
(C) Oxygen consumption measurements of isolated brown fat mitochondria in a well stirred cuvette at room temperature. Mitochondria, G3P, and GDP were added at indicated time points.
(D) Quantification of oxygen consumption rates (n = 4).
Results are reported as mean + SEM. Statistical significance is indicated as **p < 0.01 (Student’s t test).
