Figure 1. Endurance training results in depot specific changes in PLIN protein content. a) BAT PLIN proteins; b) iWAT PLIN proteins; c) eWAT PLIN proteins. Statistics compare sedentary vs. endurance-trained within the same protein. Data are reported as mean ± SE.* denotes significant differences between trained and sedentary (p < 0.05).

Figure 2. Endurance training did not alter mitochondrial protein content in adipose tissue depots. a) BAT mitochondrial proteins; b) iWAT mitochondrial proteins; c) eWAT mitochondrial proteins (COXIV: cytochrome c oxidase subunit IV; PDH: pyruvate dehydrogenase; UCP1: uncoupling protein 1. Statistics compare sedentary vs. endurance-trained within the same protein. Data are reported as mean±SE. * denotes significant differences between trained and sedentary (p < 0.05).

Figure 3. Endurance training reduced ACC content in BAT and eWAT. a) BAT lipogenic proteins; b) iWAT lipogenic proteins; c) eWAT lipogenic proteins. Statistics compare sedentary vs. endurance-trained within the same protein (FAS: fatty acid synthase; ACC: acetyl CoA-carboxylase). Data are reported as mean±SE. * denotes significant differences between trained and sedentary (p < 0.05).

Figure 4. Endurance training increases ATGL and CGI-58 content in eWAT. a) BAT lipolytic proteins; b) iWAT lipogenic proteins; c) eWAT lipogenic proteins (HSL: hormone sensitive lipase; ATGL: adipose triglyceride lipase; CGI-58: comparative gene identification-58). Data are reported as mean±SE. * denotes significant differences between trained and sedentary (p < 0.05).
