Body mass of WT and α_2C-AR^-/- mice.

<p>(A) WT <i>versus</i> α_2C-AR^-/- mice. (B) WT <i>versus</i> WT+T3. (C) α_2C-AR^-/-<i>versus</i> α_2C-AR^-/-+T3. Animals were treated with saline or a supraphysiological dose of T3 (7 μg·100 g body wt^-1·day^-1). The significance between all groups, presented in figures A, B and C, was determined in a single test by two-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s test. The groups were separated in figures A, B and C to more clearly show the differences between groups. Values represent the mean ± SEM (n = 10–12 per group). *<i>P</i>< 0.05, **<i>P</i>< 0.01, <i>versus</i> the respective saline-treated animals (WT <i>vs</i>. WT+T3, KO <i>vs</i>. KO+T3), ⁺<i>P</i> < 0.05 (WT vs. KO).
