Figure 2. 5′-AMP-induced peripheral blood lymphopenia occurs independent of hypothermia.

Figure 2.

Body temperature prior to (0 h) and 4 h following torpor induction by 5′-AMP administration in mice kept at room temperature (∼22°C) or at the higher Ta of ∼30°C (A). Total lymphocyte (B), T lymphocyte (C), and B lymphocyte (D) counts in peripheral blood of mice kept at Ta of ∼22°C or 30°C prior to and 4 h after 5′-AMP administration. Mice kept at Ta = 30°C were given two doses of 5′-AMP at the start of the experiment (t=0; 7.5 mmol/kg) and 2 h (1.9 mmol/kg). Bars represent mean ± sem; */** = P < 0.05/0.01, respectively (n=3–9 animals/group).
