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).
