Effect of erythropoietin (EPO) on the β-adrenergic receptor/Mef2/miR-133 pathway in interscapular BAT.

<p>(A) Real-time PCR experiments. (B) Western blot analysis. (C) Real-time PCR experiments. (D) microRNA analysis experiments. Values given are mean ± SE for 4–8 mice. ^a<i>P</i> < 0.05 or ^aa<i>P</i> < 0.01, vs. mice fed normal chow diet (NC-Con). ^bP < 0.05 or ^bbP < 0.01, vs. mice fed normal chow diet plus EPO (NC-EPO). ^cP < 0.05 or ^ccP < 0.01, vs. mice fed high-fat diet alone (HFD-Con).
