  • Title: A comparison of the food intake suppression produced by giving amphetamine as an aversion treatment versus as an anorexic treatment.
    Author: Carey RJ.
    Journal: Psychopharmacology (Berl); 1978 Jan 31; 56(1):45-8. PubMed ID: 415326.
    Abstract:
    Separate groups of rats were given either 1 or 2 mg/kg injections of amphetamine 30 min before or after eating a preferred high-fat food. When given before eating as an anorexic treatment, amphetamine initially suppressed intake almost completely, but with repeated injections tolerance developed. In contrast amphetamine given after eating as an aversion treatment initially had little effect on intake, but with repeated injections it suppressed intake almost completely in rats receiving the higher dose.
