Metabolic effects of MB at the dose of 20 mg/kg (2 mg/kg/min for 10 min) in five rats. This dose was the one used in the study (see also “Discussion”). Note that the increase in metabolism produced by MB consisted in a commensurate rise in V̇O2 and V̇CO2 (A) and no change in R (V̇CO2/V̇O2 ratio, B). (C) Averaged V̇O2 and arterial blood pressure before and at the end of MB infusion (10 min) along with O2 accumulation and body temperature changes (C) at the end of MB infusion (blue bars) compared to a group of five rats that received saline (open bars).
