Figure 1. Sympathetic activation and lipolysis effects of capsaicin-induced AAR in Ctrl and OB rats.

Figure 1

(A) Effects of iWAT infusion of capsaicin on RSNA and MAP change. (B) Effects of iWAT infusion of capsaicin on serum NE, epinephrine (Epi) and FFA levels. (C) Percentage change of serum NE, Epi and FFA induced by the iWAT infusion of capsaicin. (D) Right iWAT surgical denervation abolished the capsaicin-induced sympathetic activation and lipolysis in normal rats. Values are mean ± S.E.M. *P < 0.05 vs. Vehicle; P < 0.05 vs. Ctrl; P < 0.05 vs. Sham right iWAT denervation + Vehicle; #P < 0.05 vs. Sham right iWAT denervation + capsaicin. n = 6 for each group.
