Figure 5.

At 2 and 4 h post-dark onset, restraint stress (Res) significantly suppressed cumulative intake regardless of intra-LS treatment (*p<0.01 versus respective no stress condition; $p<0.05 relative to saline + Res mice). At 21 h, Ex9 treatment significantly attenuated the effect of stress-induced hypophagia. (#p<0.05 stress x drug interaction). Stress significantly suppressed 21 h intake relative to the saline no stress condition, *p < 0.01. All data are shown as mean ± SEM. n=5 Saline, n=7 Ex9 (10 μg).
