Induction of brown adipocyte phenotype in subcutaneous adipose tissue by CL treatment. a, b Immunoblot analysis of UCP1 protein expression and quantification. Mean ± SEM; n = 4, two-way ANOVA, interaction of sex and treatment (p = 0.9094) and effect of sex (p = 0.8949) were not significant. Significant main effect of CL treatment (p < 0.0001). c Mitochondrial respiration in brown adipose tissue and iWAT of male and female mice treated with CL for 3 days (mean ± SEM; n = 4) as determined by reduction of the electron acceptor dye TTC. d qPCR analysis of brown adipocyte markers and genes involved in mitochondrial FFA oxidation in iWAT of male and female mice treated with CL for 3 days and untreated control mice. (mean ± SEM; n = 4)
