Effect of CNX-010-49 on thermogenesis and body weight in DIO mice. Body weight was measured weekly (A). Non-shivering thermogenesis was measured as described in the methods (B). Immunohistochemistry of PRDM16 and UCP1 (C) in subcutaneous adipose tissue sections was performed as mentioned in the Methods. Subcutaneous adipocytes size (D) and serum leptin (E) levels were measured at the end of treatment. Statistical comparison was conducted by One-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett’s test or repeated measures ANOVA followed by Bonferroni correction (A) (n = 8 mice/group). Two-way repeated measures ANOVA indicated that CNX-010-49 significantly reduced body weight (p = 0.001; F = 14.02; Df = 22). (# - significance of HFD control against lean control, *- significance of CNX-010-49 treatment against HFD control) (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 and ***P < 0.001).
