摘要: Abstract The present study was designed (1) to determine if scrotal thermal stimulation would activate brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis, indicated by increases in interscapular BAT temperature (TIBAT) of cold acclimatized (CA, kept at 4°C for 4 weeks) and room rats (RA, 21°C (2) compare the thermoresponsiveness VMH neurons both groups heating cooling. extracellular activity recorded male RA CA Sprague-Dawley when temperatures (Tsc) were changed between 5–40°C via localized thermode (3 mm2) along with measurements Tscs TIBATs.
