Food intake of rats receiving VMH injection of Ucn 3 or vehicle. Ucn 3 or vehicle was injected into free-moving rats 15 min before the lights were turned off, and food intake was monitored for 4 h. Ucn 3-injected rats ate significantly less than vehicle-treated rats in the first 2 h after the injection; total food intake measured during the 4-h postinjection period was also reduced. *P < 0.05 vs. vehicle control.
