Abstract

Chicks that have undergone long-term selection for low body weight responded to intracerebroventricular amylin injection with reduced food intake at a dose considerably lower and with a greater magnitude suppression than those selected for high body weight. Behaviors unrelated to ingestion were not affected. These data support the thesis of correlated amylin system responses to selection for low or high body weight, with possible implications to other species.
