Effects of fourth ventricular (4V) oxytocin (OT) administration during the early-light cycle on interscapular brown adipose tissue (BAT) temperature (TIBAT) in male chow-fed mice. A: TIBAT was measured in mice that received acute 4V injections of OT (1, 5 µg/µL) or vehicle (n = 9/group). B: change in TIBAT relative to baseline TIBAT was measured in mice that received an acute 4V injection of OT (1, 5 µg/µL) or vehicle (n = 9/group). C: 2-h average TIBAT following 4V injection of OT (1, 5 µg/µL) or vehicle. One-way repeated-measures ANOVA; data are expressed as means ± SE. *P < 0.05 vs. vehicle.
