Potential mechanisms of BAT to WAT changes. A–C Venn diagram of different groups. D Number of genes regulating cell death. E Number of genes regulating cell proliferation. F Heat map of gene expression regulating cell death from RNA-seq data. G Heat map of gene expression regulating cell proliferation from the RNA-seq data. H–M Relative gene expression normalized to the geometric mean of BAX, BCL2, BAX/BCL2, caspase-3, caspase-6, and caspase-9. N–S BAX, BCL2, and caspase-3 protein expression levels were measured by Western blotting. ^*P < 0.05, ^**P < 0.01
