From: The effect of estrogen on brown adipose tissue activity in male rats
Changes in temperature (Δ Temperature °C) of interscapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT) and core, in male rats following injection (time = zero) of estrogen or vehicle. Temperature of iBAT following A IP injection or B ICV injection. Core temperature following C IP injection or D ICV injection. Error bars represent SD. Statistical significance was tested using a two-way mixed model ANOVA. Separate ANOVAs were conducted for each route of administration (IP-control versus IP-estrogen, and ICV-control versus ICV-estrogen). n = 6 for IP-control; n = 7 for IP-estrogen and ICV-control; n = 8 for ICV-estrogen. One rat was excluded from the IP-control group due to a procedural error. Two rats were excluded from the ICV-estrogen group due to prolonged (< 7 h) surgical complications experienced
