Component
Sympathetic nerve activity to brown adipose tissue
Sympathetic nerve activity to brown adipose tissue. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.
1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.
How nutrients influence it
Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
How nutrients reach it in more than one step
Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does
Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.
Where it participates (unsigned role)
Intravenous injection of the TRPV1 agonist dihydrocapsaicin decreased brown adipose tissue sympathetic nerve activity, brown adipose tissue temperature, expired carbon dioxide and heart rate, though not mean arterial pressure, during skin cooling in anaesthetised rats.

- experimental_model
- Urethane-chloralose-anaesthetised rats with nucleus tractus solitarius nanoinjection, sympathetic nerve recording and vagotomy
- exposure
- Intravenous dihydrocapsaicin, against resiniferatoxin nanoinjected into the nucleus tractus solitarius, with capsazepine and bilateral cervical or subdiaphragmatic vagotomy
- limitations
- The vagotomy control separates a central vagal route from whatever systemic dihydrocapsaicin uses. Anaesthetised animals, so the cardiovascular numbers are not directly comparable with the conscious studies here.
