Blood flow in (A) brown adipose tissue (BAT), (B) kidney, and (C) quadriceps femoris muscle estimated by contrast ultrasound before and during infusion of 1 μg·kg−1·min−1 norepinephrine (NE). Mice deficient in nitric oxide synthase 1 (NOS1−/−) or 3 (NOS3−/−), as well as animals treated with NG-nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAME) are compared to wild-type (WT) mice. Data are depicted as mean values±SEM. * p<0.001, BAT blood flow at NE 1 μg·kg−1·min−1 differs from baseline BAT blood flow in all groups. † p<0.05, BAT and kidney blood flow in mice treated with L-NAME differs from BAT and kidney blood flow in WT mice. # p<0.05, BAT blood flow in NOS3−/− mice differs from BAT blood flow in WT mice.
