Comparison of the effects of different interventions to stimulate interscapular BAT in mice. (a) BAT FDG uptake ratio in cold, cold + NE and control group. Cold together with NE intervention showed the highest uptake in BAT. (b) BAT FDG uptake ratio in NE, epinephrine, isoprenaline, and control group. All these pharmaceutics increase BAT activity, but only NE showed significant difference ( ).
