Fig. 2From: Aerobic exercise promotes the functions of brown adipose tissue in obese mice via a mechanism involving COX2 in the VEGF signaling pathwayFood intake, degree of obesity, BAT mass and UCP1 expression in the different groups of mice. Food intake (a1), energy intake (a2) and body weight (b) during feeding and intervention (0–12 weeks); Body fat percentage (BF%) after the 4-week intervention; Serum TG (d1), TC and GLU (d2) levels in each group of mice after intervention; e CT scans where yellow is WAT, blue fascia and muscle, white bone, and black BAT (indicated by the black arrows); f BAT mass percentage [(BAT mass/BF) %] after the 4-week intervention; g western blotting of UCP1 and the relative protein content in BAT after the intervention. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 represent statistical significance. n = 6Back to article page
