Effects of intracerebroventricular injection of muscimol or GABA on operant feeding in pigs
Young pigs were prepared with lateral intracerebroventricular (ICV) cannulae. They were housed individually in cages fitted with operant panels and could obtain food and water ad lib. The GABA-A receptor agonist muscimol (25–200 nmol) ICV produced an increase in food intake in which the dose-respons...

Zusammenfassung: | Young pigs were prepared with lateral intracerebroventricular (ICV) cannulae. They were housed individually in cages fitted with operant panels and could obtain food and water ad lib. The GABA-A receptor agonist muscimol (25–200 nmol) ICV produced an increase in food intake in which the dose-response relation was most obvious 30–60 min after dosing. The 25-nmol dose had no effect on feeding. However, muscimol (50 nmol) caused a significant increase in feeding (
