Epub 2017 Jan 25. PMID: 28125508 Abstract Title:  A cannabigerol-rich Cannabis sativa extract, devoid of [INCREMENT]9-tetrahydrocannabinol, elicits hyperphagia in rats. Abstract:  Nonpsychoactive phytocannabinoids (pCBs) from Cannabis sativa may represent novel therapeutic options for cachexia because of their pleiotropic pharmacological activities, including appetite stimulation. We have recently shown that purified cannabigerol (CBG) is a novel appetite stimulant in rats. As standardized extracts from Cannabis chemotypes dominant in one pCB [botanical drug substances (BDSs)] often show greater efficacy and/or potency than purified pCBs, we investigated the effects of a CBG-rich BDS, devoid of psychoactive [INCREMENT]-tetrahydrocannabinol, on feeding behaviour. Following a 2 h prefeed satiation procedure, 16 male Lister-hooded rats were administered CBG-BDS (at 30-240 mg/kg) or vehicle. Food intake, meal pattern microstructure and locomotor activity were recorded over 2 h. The total food intake was increased by 120 and 240 mg/kg CBG-BDS (1.53 and 1.36 g, respectively, vs. 0.56 g in vehicle-treated animals). Latency to feeding onset was dose dependently decreased at all doses, and 120 and 240 mg/kg doses increased both the number of meals consumed and the cumulative size of the first two meals. No significant effect was observed on ambulatory activity or rearing behaviour. CBG-BDS is a novel appetite stimulant, which may have greater potency than purified CBG, despite the absence of [INCREMENT]-tetrahydrocannabinol in the extract. <p><a href="https://greenmedinfo.com/article/cannabigerol-enriched-cannabis-extract-could-be-used-appetite-stimulant" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://greenmedinfo.com/article/cannabigerol-enriched-cannabis-extract-could-be-used-appetite-stimulant#comments Appetite Disorders: Loss/Lack of Cannabinoids Cannabis Appetite Stimulants Plant Extracts Animal Study Mon, 27 Mar 2017 23:48:25 +0000 greenmedinfo 145456 at https://greenmedinfo.com Dietary whey decreases food intake and body fat in rats. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/dietary-whey-decreases-food-intake-and-body-fat-rats PMID:  Obesity (Silver Spring). 2011 Feb 17. Epub 2011 Feb 17. PMID: 21331067 Abstract Title:  Dietary Whey Protein Decreases Food Intake and Body Fat in Rats. Abstract:  We investigated the effects of dietary whey protein on food intake, body fat, and body weight gain in rats. Adult (11-12 week) male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three dietary treatment groups for a 10-week study: control. Whey protein (HP-W), or high-protein content control (HP-S). Albumin was used as the basic protein source for all three diets. HP-W and HP-S diets contained an additional 24% (wt/wt) whey or isoflavone-free soy protein, respectively. Food intake, body weight, body fat, respiratory quotient (RQ), plasma cholecystokinin (CCK), glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1), peptide YY (PYY), and leptin were measured during and/or at the end of the study. The results showed that body fat and body weight gain were lower (P https://greenmedinfo.com/article/dietary-whey-decreases-food-intake-and-body-fat-rats#comments Appetite Disorders: Loss/Lack of Overweight Weight Probems: Appetite Whey Ghrelin Up-regulation Animal Study Thu, 28 Apr 2011 14:45:06 +0000 greenmedinfo 63407 at https://greenmedinfo.com Sleep disturbance and appetite loss after lovastatin. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/sleep-disturbance-and-appetite-loss-after-lovastatin PMID:  Lancet. 1994 Apr 16 ;343(8903):973.

PMID: 15878236 Abstract Title:  Olfactory stimulation with scent of lavender oil affects autonomic nerves, lipolysis and appetite in rats. Abstract:  In a previous study, we presented evidence that scent of grapefruit oil excites sympathetic nerves innervating white and brown adipose tissues and the adrenal gland, inhibits the vagal nerve innervating the stomach, increases lipolysis and heat production (energy consumption), and reduces appetite and body weight. Here, we examined the effects of olfactory stimulation with scent of lavender oil (SLVO) in rats and observed that in contrast to grapefruit oil, it inhibits the sympathetic nerves innervating the white and brown adipose tissues and adrenal gland and excites the parasympathetic gastric nerve. Local anesthesia of the nasal mucosa with xylocaine or anosmic treatment using ZnSO(4) eliminated the autonomic changes caused by SLVO. Moreover, stimulation with SLVO lowered the plasma glycerol level, and treatment with either ZnSO(4) or an intracranial injection of thioperamide, a histamine H3 receptor-antagonist, abolished SLVO-mediated glycerol decline. Furthermore, a 15-min daily exposure to SLVO increased food intake and body weight. Finally, linalool, a component of lavender oil, induced responses similar to those caused by SLVO, and the glycerol response to linalool was eliminated by thioperamide. Thus, scent of lavender oil and its active component, linalool, affect autonomic nerves, suppress lipolysis through a histaminergic response, and enhance appetite and body weight. https://greenmedinfo.com/article/scent-lavendar-oil-inhibits-lipolysis-enhances-appetite-and-body-weight-rats#comments Appetite Disorders: Loss/Lack of Lavender Weight Problems: Low Weight/Weight Loss Animal Study Tue, 11 May 2010 15:19:33 +0000 greenmedinfo 55113 at https://greenmedinfo.com
