Abstract
Corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) and sauvagine (SVG) when administered ICV both reduced spontaneous feeding as well as feeding induced by deprivation or the administration of ethylketocyclazocine (EKC). For spontaneous- and EKC-induced feeding, SVG produced a larger and longer-lasting suppressive effect than did CRF. Both peptides produced a conditioned taste aversion when paired with a novel saccharin taste. As with the feeding effects, SVG produced a stronger aversion than CRF. These studies further establish the similarity between CRF and SVG and suggest that they may have a disruptive effect on feeding.
