Inhibition of BAT thermogenesis through central modulatory areas. (A) Bilateral injection of the A1 adenosine receptor agonist, CHA, induces a rapid inhibition of the cold-evoked BAT SNA and reduces BAT temperature and expired CO2. Modified from Tupone et al. (2013a). (B) Unilateral nanoinjection of the glucoprivic agent, 5-TG, into the VLM induces a rapid inhibition of cold-evoked BAT SNA and a fall in BAT temperature and expired CO2. Modified from Madden (2012), Tupone et al. (2013a).
