Background, aims and objectives: We hypothesized that classical brown adipose tissue (cBAT) could play a crucial role in the anti-obesity effects of erythropoietin (EPO). Our study highlights the mechanism in which EPO treatments could upregulate energy expenditure and improve glucose homeostasis through cBAT in obese mice fed with a high-fat diet (HFD).Method: C57BL/6J mice had been fed with HFD since the age of 4 weeks (HFD mice). We administered recom...
