Figure 4. Reduced satiation to exogenous and endogenous CCK in DIO rats.

Figure 4

A) CCK feeding study (described in methods) in Sprague Dawley rats after 8 weeks on respective diets. CCK8S (0.22 nmol/kg; i.p.) significantly inhibited food intake compared to vehicle in LF and DR, but not DIO rats. N = 6. B) CCK8S (2.19 nmol/kg; i.p.) significantly inhibited food intake in all rats. N = 6. C) Protocol for leptin feeding study in which endogenous CCK was upregulated D) Endogenous CCK reduced food intake in LF fed and DR rats at 4, 6 and 8 weeks. Endogenous CCK reduced food intake in DIO rats at 4 weeks but not at 6 and 8 weeks. N = 6; data expressed as mean ± SEM. Significant differences were represented as ** for p<0.01.
