  • * P < 0.05 vs. 15-min controls.

  • P < 0.01 vs. 15-min controls.

  • Data are % dose kg/g. Control rats were Sprague-Dawley female rats that weighed 180–200 g and had fasted overnight. Etomoxir-treated rats were given 40 mg/kg etomoxir 2 h before tracer injection. Uptake is normalized to body mass (kg).
