[ 1 ] - Central effect of mammalian oxyntomodulin on food intake in non-fasted and fasted chicks

Oxyntomodulin (OXM), a proglucagon-derived peptide, is a well known anorexigenic peptide found inthe gut and brain of mammals. The present study was carried out to investigate the central effect of OXM onfood intake in non-fasted and fasted Ross broiler chicks.
