MA-induced change in body temperature relative to saline-treated mice

Data represent change (ΔT) in temperature (mean ± S.E.M.) for each treatment group from saline-treated mice at the specified time point; n = 11–12 mice per genotype per treatment group. Taar1 WT saline-treated group body temperature at each timepoint (mean ± S.E.M.): 1st inj, 37.9 ± 0.1°C; 2nd inj, 37.7 ± 0.1°C; 3rd inj, 37.3 ± 0.1°C; 4th inj, 37.1 ± 0.1°C. Taar1 KO saline-treated group body temperature at each timepoint: 1st inj, 37.7 ± 0.2°C; 2nd inj, 37.6 ± 0.1°C; 3rd inj, 37.2 ± 0.1°C; 4th inj, 36.7 ± 0.1°C.
