Transient changes in heat loss index after microinfusion of senktide or vehicle

Ambient temperature	Baseline HLI	Maximal decrease from baseline after microinfusion
		Vehicle	Senktide
21.5 C	0.35 ± 0.03	0.11 ± 0.02a	0.11 ± 0.05a
29.0 C	0.42 ± 0.03	0.15 ± 0.05a	0.06 ± 0.02

Baseline values represent the average heat loss index (HLI) ± sem during the hour before infusion in OVX + E₂ rats (n = 11 at each ambient temperature). Vehicle and senktide values represent the maximal decrease from baseline during the first 30 min after microinfusion (n = 5–6 microinfusions/group).

^aSignificantly different from baseline.
