Acute eWAT stimulation with capsaicin (CAP) exacerbated mean arterial pressure (MAP) response in obese MSEW male mice. A, Blood pressure trace in mice fed a low fat diet (LF). B, Blood pressure trace in mice fed a high fat diet (HF) (C), 30-min area under the curve (AUC) in response to CAP. Data were analyzed by ANOVA repeated measures for continuous blood pressure trace and 2-way ANOVA followed by Tukey multiple comparisons post hoc test for AUC analysis. Data were reported as mean±SEM. n=8 per group. eWAT indicates epididymal white adipose tissue; MSEW, maternal separation and early weaning; and VEH, vehicle. *P<0.05 vs control.
