    Summary
    Neither ICV oxytocin (5 and 50 μg) nor PrRP (2 and 20 nmol) reduced feed intake (n=6).

    Summary · context
    Thirty minutes before the onset of feeding, the treatment solution was injected into the third ventricle through an implanted cannula, and feeding-related behaviors were observed for 1 h after the onset of feeding.
  2. 02AnimalAnimal study (in vivo)Efficacy outcome

    In steers, 50 μg of intracerebroventricular oxytocin showed only a trend (p<0.1) towards shorter latency to the first water access after feeding onset.

    In plain wordsIn steers, a high dose of oxytocin in the brain showed only a weak trend towards a shorter time to first drink.

    Summary
    Fifty micrograms of oxytocin reduced latency to the first water access after feeding onset (p<0.1), which may be because of the stimulation of arginine vasopressin V1b receptor by the high dose of oxytocin.

    Thirty minutes before the onset of feeding, the treatment solution was injected into the third ventricle through an implanted cannula, and feeding-related behaviors were observed for 1 h after the onset of feeding.
