Figure 6From: Estrogens increase expression of bone morphogenetic protein 8b in brown adipose tissue of mice One week DHT treatment reduces BAT Bmp8b expression in female mice. Ucp1, Bmp8b, and Fgf1 mRNA expression in BAT of female mice who received daily injections with dihydrotestosterone (DHT) for 1 week. Results were normalized to 18S ribosomal RNA (Rn18s) and beta-2 microglobulin (B2m) with data from vehicle mice defined as ‘1’. Values are averages ± SEM; n = 6; *p < 0.05 vs. vehicle (Mann–Whitney U test).Back to article page
