Table Blood flow of brown adipose tissue (BAT), kidney, and quadriceps femoris muscle estimated by contrast ultrasound in 2-month-old wild-type mice.

	Jugular vein (n=8)		Tail vein (n=4)
	Baseline	NE	Baseline	NE
BAT (dB/s)	0.5±0.1	7.5±1.6*	0.8±0.1	11.2±2.4*
Kidney (dB/s)	10.4±1.9	6.3±0.9*	9.2±2.9	8.6±1.6
Muscle (dB/s)	0.3±0.1	0.4±0.1	0.4±0.2	0.4±0.01

Infusions of contrast microbubbles and 1 μg·kg⁻¹·min⁻¹ norepinephrine (NE) were administered either via the jugular vein or tail vein.

^*p<0.05 Baseline differs from NE.

Data are depicted as mean values±SEM.
