Binge eating paradigm. The experimental session was divided into four contiguous phases: 1-h chow access (a), 2-h food deprivation, 10-min access to chow (b), and 10-min access to chow or chocolate (c). Chow intake in the home-cage, after the experimental session, is also shown (d). Values represent the averaged intakes (kcal) from days 1–15 (±SEM), after acquisition of a stable baseline, in chow/chow-fed (n=5 females, open squares) and in chow/chocolate-fed animals (n=6 females, closed squares). **p<0.01, ***p<0.001 compared with chow/chow-fed animals.
