Following administration of 240 mg/kg CBG, hour 2 and total food intake were increased, as was the size of meal 1 + 2. Total consumption was also increased following administration of 120 mg/kg CBG. Data presented as mean ± SEM and analysed by one-way repeated measures ANOVA and planned comparisons. All groups n = 16
