Figure 2. Effects of ICV [D-Trp8]-γ-MSH Infusion in Experiment 2.

Figure 2

(A). Mean Body Weight: [D-Trp8]-γ-MSH infusion did not have any significant effect on body weight or weight gain which was similar to that of saline controls. (B). Mean Food Intake: A significant increase in food intake among [D-Trp8]-γ-MSH rats (28.7 ± 0.6 g; *p = 0.003; n = 10) compared to saline controls (25.7 ± 0.6 g; n = 9) was observed on day 2 of infusion. In contrast to Exp. 1, there was also no decline in food intake by either [D-Trp8]-γ-MSH or saline rats on the day after pump exchange in this experiment using inhaled isoflurane anesthesia.
