Effect of intracerebroventricular glucose injection on feeding in Leghorn chicks

The food and water intake response of Leghorn chicks to intracerebroventricular (ICV) injections of glucose was studied. Experiments were done in both free-feeding and 24-hr fasted birds. The ICV injection of 10 microliter of glucose solutions ranging from 5.5 to 30% had no significant effect on foo...

Description
Summary:The food and water intake response of Leghorn chicks to intracerebroventricular (ICV) injections of glucose was studied. Experiments were done in both free-feeding and 24-hr fasted birds. The ICV injection of 10 microliter of glucose solutions ranging from 5.5 to 30% had no significant effect on food or water intake in free-feeding or in 24-hr fasted Leghorns. This suggests that glucose does not influence food or water intake when injected into the lateral cerebro-ventricle. This effect is discussed in relationship to recent findings showing that injection of glucose into the third ventricle decreases food intake.
