Figure 1. Comparison of AIM Scores Before and Sixty Minutes After Feeding Animals.

Figure 1

This figure shows a comparison of the effect feeding on the AIM scores of unilaterally lesioned rats administered L-dopa. Animals were administered a mixture of L-dopa (8 mg/kg) and benserazide (8 mg/kg) in sterile saline (9 g/L NaCl in water) by i.p. injection. Rats were either fed approximately 24 hours prior to L-dopa administration (Hungry, ●) or fed (approximately 30–40 grams of rat chow pellets) 1 hour prior to L-dopa administration (Fed, ▲).
