Abstract
<p>Real-time RT-PCR analysis of (A) brown adipose tissue (BAT) and (B) subcutaneous white adipose tissue of T<sub>reg</sub> cell-proficient (PBS) and T<sub>reg</sub> cell-deficient (DT) mice after cold exposure. Ucp1, uncoupling protein 1; Cidea,cell death-inducing DNA fragmentation factor, alpha subunit-like effector A; Dio2,deiodinase, iodothyronine, type II; Pparg, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma; Prdm16, PR domain containing 16; Cd68, Cd68 antigen; Ccl2,chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2; Tnfa, tumor necrosis factor alpha; Ifng, interferon, gamma; Mrc1, mannose receptor, C type 1; Mgl1, macrophage galactose-type C-type lectin 1; Arg1,arginase 1; Il-10, interleukin 10; Il-4, interleukin 4. Data are mean ± SD (n = 9–10); *p<0.05 (Student’s t-test). (C) Representative hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining (left) and immunohistochemical anti-MAC-2 staining (right; brown color) in BAT from PBS and DT mice. Scale bar 100 μm. Quantification of MAC-2 positive area (panel below MAC-2 staining) as a percentage of total area.</p
