Central stimulation of MC3Rs increases motivation and free intake of sucrose. Effects of i.c.v. infusion of αMSH in combination with a MC4R blocker (HS014) on ALPs (a), rewards earned (b), and ILPs (c) (n=17). Effects of i.c.v. infusion of saline or γMSH on ALPs (d), rewards earned (e), ILPs (f), sucrose free feeding (g), and 24 h chow intake (h) (n=8). One-way ANOVA, *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001 compared with saline condition.
