Fig. 2

Average rectal temperature of male WT and KO mice after NE injection during [18F]FDG uptake for Set 2. To further corroborate the difference in BAT thermogenic capacity of our WT (blue) and KO (white) mice, rectal temperature was also recorded during the [18F]FDG uptake in the second set of experiments. Here, by studying mice of similar size, and by carefully controlling both NE dose and room temperature conditions, we were able to detect a significant (p < 0.001) difference in the increase in rectal temperature between WT and KO mice. Error bars represent the standard deviation at each time point
