From: Knocking down the neuronal lactate transporter MCT2 in the arcuate nucleus of female rats increases food intake and body weight

Microstructure of ingestion in female rats with MCT2 knockdown. Quantification of the following feeding microstructure parameters: (A) first meal duration (min), (B) latency to first meal (min), (C) average meal duration (min), (D) average interval duration between meals (min), (E) meal size (g), and (F) feeding rate (mg/min). Analysis of the feeding rate, calculated as the total food consumed divided by the total meal duration, indicated that female rats with MCT2 knockdown exhibited an increased eating rate, correlating with a significant increase in overall food intake.
