Effects of amylin-related peptides on food intake, meal patterns, and gastric emptying in rats.
We previously demonstrated that amylin inhibits food intake and gastric emptying in rats with half-maximal effective doses (ED(50)s) of 8 and 3 pmol x kg(-1) x min(-1) and maximal inhibitions of 78… Expand
