Non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) release in human white adipose tissue (WAT) explants ± propranolol: NEFA was measured after stimulation with indicated melanocortin peptide analogue (100 nM–10 μM) in subcutaneous explants from female human ± 10 μM β-adrenergic antagonist propranolol (PRO). The mean ± SEM of 3 independent experiments in triplicate wells are shown. Unpaired one-tailed t test was used to calculate statistical significance (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 vs. vehicle; +p < 0.05, ++p < 0.01, +++p < 0.001 vs. −7)
