Response of Coup-TFII and Ucp3 mRNA expression to physiological challenges inducing lipid utilization. (A) Expression of Coup-TFII and Ucp3 mRNA in BAT of cold exposed and SKM of food deprived hamsters as compared to control conditions. Shown are mean values with standard error, * = p < 0,05. (B) Relationship of Ucp3 and Coup-TFII mRNA levels in SKM and BAT of hamsters housed under standard conditions with ad libitum access to food; r2 = 0.211, p = not significant (SKM n = 9, BAT n = 9). (C)Correlation of Ucp3 and Coup-TFII mRNA abundancies in SKM of food deprived and BAT of cold exposed animals; r2 = 0.834, p < 0.001 (SKM n = 9, BAT n = 9).
