Effects of i.p. Ucn 1 administration on (A) the density of feeding events (‘eating rate’) in a 4 h bout of feeding (B) the latency until and (C) the time after the peak in an average feeding bout and the number of feeding events (D) before and (E) after the peak of the average bout in 24 h food-deprived male Wistar rats during re-feeding. Ucn 1 treatment dose-dependently reduced the sustained eating rate within bouts and the amount of time and feeding events that followed the peak of the feeding bout. The number of feeding events before the bout peak also decreased following 0.64 nmol·kg⁻¹ Ucn 1 treatment. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, lower than respective vehicle treatment (Fisher's protected LSD test, n = 6).
