Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 3. Mice with dorsomedial hypothalamus- specific deletion of Gq/11a (DMHGq/11KO) have impaired tolerance to acute and chronic cold conditions. A: rectal temperature in DMHGq/11KO and control mice (3–6 mo postviral injection) at room temperature (0h) or at the indicated time points after being placed at 6C ambient temper- ature (n = 8–10/group). B: serum norepinephrine (NE) levels in DMHGq/11KO and control mice at 22 C or following exposure to 6C for 5 h (n= 5/ group). C: brown adipose tissue (BAT) uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1) mRNA levels at room temperature (22C) or after acute exposure to 6C for 5 h (6C-5 h) or after chronic cold adaptation to 6C (6C-adapt) in DMHGq/11KO and control mice (n = 5–6/group). D: daily rectal temperature dur- ing cold adaptation in DMHGq/11KO and control mice at 4.5–6 mo postviral injection (n = 6–7/ group). The ambient temperature on each day is indicated at the top. Mice were removed from chronic cold adaptation when rectal temperature fell below 25C (indicated by the dotted line). E: representative histologic images (hematoxylin and eosin staining) of BAT, epidydimal white adi- pose tissue (eWAT), and inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) from DMHGq/11KO and control mice after chronic cold adaptation. Scale bar = 100 mm. F: representative images of UCP1 immu- nostaining in iWAT sections from DMHGq/11KO and control mice after chronic cold adaptation (6C). G and H: adipocyte area (G; mm2) and num- ber/section (H) quantified for BAT (n =2–3/group), eWAT (n=3–4/group), and iWAT (n=3–4/group) from DMHGq/11KO mice and controls (each number is the average of 2 sections/mouse). Data are shown as means ± SE. P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 vs. control; ##P < 0.01 vs. 22 C.
