Changes in extracellular DA and ACh release in the NAc when rats are bingeing and purging via sham feeding. (A) DA release is increased in bingeing rats when both real-feeding and sham-feeding. Significant differences between groups are indicated by asterisks (P<0.05). Significant differences from baseline are indicated by ‡ (P<0.05). (B) ACh increased for real-feeding rats during sugar intake, but there was no response for sham-feeding rats during this time marked by black rectangles along the ordinate. Asterisks indicate that the ACh levels were significantly higher for the real- compared with sham-feeding rats. Differences from baseline for the real-feeding rats are indicated by ‡ (P<0.05).
