Effects of dapagliflozin administration on markers of BAT activation. Considering the potential modulation of FGF-21 on thermogenesis markers of BAT activation (UCP-1, PGC-1α, CIDEA) were evaluated. Of note, dapagliflozin treatment significantly increased mRNA expression of UCP-1 in lean animals but not in ob/ob mice (*p < 0.05)
