ac Mouse metabolic parameters, including VO2 (a), VCO2 (b), and energy expenditure (c) and their average values from full day cycle, light cycle, and dark cycle during 48 hrs of monitoring in Nccfl/fl, Nccfl/flUcp1Cre mice after 7 days of CL316243 treatment (Nccfl/fl: n = 7; Nccfl/flUcp1Cre: n = 6). de Representative images of H&E and UCP1 immunostaining of BAT sections and quantification of adipocyte size and UCP1-positive area in EAT, SAT, and BAT from indicated groups of mice (Nccfl/fl: n = 7; Nccfl/flUcp1Cre: n = 6). Scale: 50 μm. Inset: 25 μm. f RT-PCR analysis of thermogenic, lipolytic, and mitochondrial genes in EAT, SAT, and BAT from indicated mice (Nccfl/fl: n = 7; Nccfl/flUcp1Cre: n = 6). g Immunoblots and quantification of UCP1 and PGC1α relative to GAPDH in BAT from indicated mice. n = 6 per group. Data are mean ± SEM, two-sided Student’s t-test (ac, d, f) and two-sided Mann-Whitney U test (e). Sample sizes were all biologically independent samples.
