Octreotide increases light phase food intake whereas the selective sst1 or sst4 agonists injected intracerebroventricularly do not. Ad libitum fed mice were icv injected with octreotide (A), sst1 (B), and sst4 agonists (C) or vehicle and cumulative food intake was assessed for 4 h post injection. Each bar represents the mean ± SEM of 6–11 mice/group, * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001 vs. vehicle. # p < 0.05, ## p < 0.01 vs. octreotide 0.3 µg.
