Objective
The lateral parabrachial nucleus (lPBN) in the brainstem has emerged as a key area involved in feeding control that is targeted by several circulating anorexigenic hormones. Here, the objective was to determine whether the lPBN is also a relevant site for the orexigenic hormone ghrelin, inspired by studies in mice and rats showing that there is an abundance of ghrelin receptors in this...
Objective
Rats were exposed to free‐choice diets (fat plus one of two different sugar solutions, glucose or sucrose), and the metabolic consequences and impact on locomotor activity and anxiety‐like behavior were explored.
Methods
For 3 weeks, 7‐week‐old male rats were offered either chow only or free‐choice high‐fat diets differing in their added sugar: no sugar, sucrose, or glucose. In a second...
Objective
This study sought to examine divergence regarding the impact of acute versus chronic repeated stress on energy balance.
Methods
Rats were exposed to either chronic repeated forced swim (FS) stress for 7 days or an acute stress (a single FS). Body weight and food intake were measured daily. Metabolic parameters explored included brown adipose tissue (BAT) weight and activity.
