Food intake response to MA in male and female Long-Evans rats. (a, b) There was a significant effect of sex (females >males) and dose (355 μmol kg−1 versus all, P<0.05) but no sex by dose interactions. (c, d) When the data are expressed as a percentage of saline, the feeding response to MA was significantly greater in female versus male rats at the 115 μmol kg−1 (*P<0.05). † within males the 355 versus all other doses (P<0.05). ‡ within the females 155 and 355 μmol kg−1 versus saline (P<0.05) and a tendency for increased feeding at the 200 μmol kg−1 versus saline dose (P=0.06). Data are mean±s.e.m.
