Inhibitory effect of the melanocortin receptor agonist melanotan-II (MTII) on feeding depends on dietary fat content and not obesity in rats on free-choice diets
Introduction: Conflicting data exist on sensitivity changes of the melanocortin system during diet-induced obesity. We hypothesized that melanocortin sensitivity depends on diet composition, in particular on the fat content rather than the level of obesity. The aim of this study was to determine the...
