Brief Communication: Histological Assessment of Nonhuman Primate Brown Adipose Tissue Highlights the Importance of Sympathetic Innervation

Figure 3

Significant correlations with the beta 3 adrenergic receptor. Panel (a) depicts the positive relationship between abundance of beta-3 adrenergic receptor (β3-AR) and cytochrome c oxidase subunit 4 (COX IV) ( value = 0.04, Rho = 0.41, n = 25) in brown adipose tissue. Panel (b) depicts the positive relationship between brown adipose tissue beta-3 adrenergic receptor (β3-AR) abundance and white adipose tissue cluster differentiation 31 (CD31) ( value = 0.007, Rho = 0.53, n = 25).
