Differential thresholds of neuromedins B-, C-, and bombesin-induced anorexia and crop-emptying rate in chicks

Research highlights ► Injection of bombesin-like peptides suppress feeding behavior in chicks. ► Injection of bombesin-like peptides retard crop-emptying in chicks. ► Injection of bombesin-like peptides do not affect body temperature in chicks. ► Effects of bombesin-like peptides are weaker than tho...

Description
Summary:Research highlights ► Injection of bombesin-like peptides suppress feeding behavior in chicks. ► Injection of bombesin-like peptides retard crop-emptying in chicks. ► Injection of bombesin-like peptides do not affect body temperature in chicks. ► Effects of bombesin-like peptides are weaker than those of bombesin.
