(A–D) Effect of chronic 4V OT infusions (16 nmol/day) on body weight, adiposity and energy intake in female HFD-fed C57BL/6J mice. (A) Mice were maintained on HFD (60% kcal from fat; N = 7–10/group) for approximately 4.5 months prior to implantation of temperature transponders underneath IBAT. Mice were subsequently implanted with 4V cannulas and allowed to recover for 2 weeks prior to being implanted with subcutaneous minipumps that were subsequently attached to the 4V cannula. (A) Effect of chronic 4V OT or vehicle on body weight in female C57BL/6J mice rats; (B) Effect of chronic 4V OT or vehicle on body weight change in female C57BL/6J mice; (C) Effect of chronic 4V OT or vehicle on adiposity in female C57BL/6J mice; (D) Effect of chronic 4V OT or vehicle on adiposity in female C57BL/6J mice. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. * p < 0.05, † 0.05 < p < 0.1 OT vs. vehicle.
