Effect of Agouti-related protein on development of conditioned taste aversion and oxytocin neuronal activation

Agouti-related protein (Agrp) is an orexigenic peptide that acts as an antagonist of the melanocortin-3 and -4 receptors. Initial studies suggest similarities between the effects of Agrp and opioid peptides on ingestive behavior. Given these observations, we examined whether Agrp, similarly to opioi...
