TP increases core body temperature, metabolic heat production, O2 consumption, and CO2 production. A–D: bars represent means and vertical lines 1 SE of core body temperature, metabolic heat production, O2 consumption, and CO2 production, which were monitored at 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 h after steroid administration. Multifactorial ANOVA/LSD; n = 4–6. *P < 0.05.
