From: Analysis of knockout mice suggests a role for VGF in the control of fat storage and energy expenditure

Figure 6

VGF-deficient mice have increased sensitivity to cold exposure. VgfC 57-/- and VgfC 57+/+ mice were placed at 4°C for 2 hours and allowed ad lib access to food and water. Mice were individually housed and rectal temperatures were taken every 30 minutes. Body temperatures that are marked with an asterix from mutant (n = 2) and wild-type mice (n = 5) are significantly different from each other (ANOVA; p < 0.05; mean ± SEM).
