Epinephrine mediates the effect of hypoxia on fat deposits in liver and adipose tissues. Mice were treated as in Figure 4. (A) Epididymal fat, subcutaneous fat, and brown fat were isolated and stained with H&E. Representative images are presented (40×). (B) Representative images of gross liver and H&E and oil red O-stained liver tissues (40×) are presented. (C,D) Liver extracts were prepared, and triglyceride (C) and general cholesterol (D) measured. Statistical analysis was performed using Student’s t-test (mean ± SEM, n = 3). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.
