Altered Responses to Cold Environment in Urocortin 1 and Corticotropin-Releasing Factor Deficient Mice

Table 1

 Inner body temperature of UCN1KO mice at 4°C is higher than that of WT mice: statistical comparison of average rectal temperatures, taken every 10 min during 2 h (9 to 13 measurements for each mouse, = 6-7 animals in each group) of exposure to 4°C. Statistical analysis was made using ANOVA followed by Student’s -test.
