Neurotensin (NT) inhibits food intake when injected either in brain ventricles or in hypothalamic nuclei such as the ventromedian nucleus (VMN). NT concentrations are lower in obese than in lean Zucker rats in several hypothalamic nuclei, including the VMN. In this experiment, we studied the influence of the feeding state on NT concentrations in different brain areas of 10-week-old lean (n = 27) and obese (n =...
