Value in brackets is the number of rats. pulse, mean amplitude of pulsatory blood flow; BAT, brown adipose tissue temperature; Body, body temperature; AP, arterial pressure; HR, heart rate. ^*P < 0.05, ^**P < 0.01, significant different from mean values during 5 min before injection (before). ††P < 0.01 significant different from the corresponding value from mesenteric artery (Mes).
