Total iBAT lysates from Ucp1 CRE : Alk7 fx/fx conditional mutant mice showed increased ATGL levels compared to controls ( Figure 2C ), although the difference did not reach statistical significance (p=0.077).

Enhanced ATGL protein levels in the mutants were accompanied by a strong trend (p=0.078) towards increased Atgl mRNA levels after fasting ( Figure 2D ). iBAT from fasted conditional mutant mice also showed a significant decrease in the mRNA levels of G0/G1 switch gene 2 ( G0S2 ), which encodes an inhibitor of ATGL activity ( Yang et al., 2010 ; Figure 2E ).
