Abstract
Different benzodiazepines, when administered to fasting cats, increased both the total amount of food eaten, and also the rate at which food was ingested. Moreover, when injected to foodsatiated cats, these compounds made them resume eating voraciously. Pentobarbital also stimulated food intake, but was much less potent than the benzodiazepines tested.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
