(A,B) Effect of acute 4V OT administration (0.5 μg) on TIBAT post-sham or IBAT denervation in female HFD-fed rats. Rats were maintained on HFD (60% kcal from fat; N = 4–8/group) for approximately 4.5 months prior to undergoing a sham or bilateral surgical IBAT denervation and implantation of temperature transponders underneath IBAT. Rats were subsequently implanted with 4V cannulas and allowed to recover for 2 weeks prior to receiving acute 4V injections of OT or vehicle. Animals were subsequently adapted to a 4-h fast prior to receiving acute 4V injections of OT or vehicle (A,B) Effect of acute 4V OT on TIBAT in (A) sham operated or (B) IBAT denervated DIO rats. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. * p < 0.05, † 0.05 < p < 0.1 OT vs. vehicle.
