Homeostatic-related peptides injected into the rat nucleus accumbens alter palatable eating and impact the binge-like intake of a sweetened fat diet during simultaneous μ-opioid receptor stimulation

BackgroundThe nucleus accumbens is central for directing motivated behavior and is a key node in the neural circuitry that promotes eating in response to palatable diets. We examined the impact of intra-accumbens injections of a variety of homeostatic-related peptides (HRPs) on eating elicited by a...
