  • Title: Analysis of the interaction of naltrexone with eating following adrenergic and cholinergic stimulation of the hypothalamus.
    Author: Chance WT, Finkelstein JA, van Lammeren FM, Fischer JE.
    Journal: Neuropharmacology; 1982 Sep; 21(9):929-32. PubMed ID: 7145041.
    Abstract:
    The anoretic potency of the narcotic antagonist drug nalthrexone, was investigated against eating elicited by the perifornical hypothalamic injection of 24.0 nmol of norepinephrine or 6.0 nmol of carbachol. Although eating following administration of norepinephrine was not significantly affected by pretreatment with naltrexone, carbachol-induced eating and drinking were dramatically attenuated by doses of naltrexone as small as 0.25 mg/kg. These data suggest the existence of an opiate link in these cholinergically-mediated behaviors.
