Figure 2. Intra‐VMH microinjections of the melanocortin receptor agonist MTII enhanced thermogenesis .

Figure 2

A, change in BAT thermogenesis from baseline levels was significantly higher between 30 and 105 min after MTII microinjection compared to vehicle. B, gastroc muscle thermogenesis was significantly elevated above baseline levels starting 90 min after microinjection and continuing until the end of the 240 min measurement. C, when gastroc temperature was measured after activity levels and workload were equalized using a treadmill, the activity‐associated change in gastroc temperature was significantly higher after intra‐VMH MTII compared to vehicle. *Significantly different from vehicle, P < 0.05 (n = 8).
