AdipoRon (Sigma-Aldrich, MO, USA) was first dissolved in DMSO at 40 mg/mL, then suspended in 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose salt (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) [35 (link),78 (link)]. Animals received the AdipoRon treatment (20 or 50 mg/kg i.p.) or the vehicle as control treatment continuously for 14 days. Mice were injected with bromodeoxyuridine i.p.
