The tridecapeptide, neurotensin, may be an endogenous satiety factor. The effects of neurotensin on multiple paradigms known to stimulate feeding were studied. Following a 30 h starvation period, neurotensin suppressed feeding at the 20 .mu.g and 10 .mu.g dose, but not at the 1 .mu.g dose when compared to saline controls. Norepinephrine [NE] (20 .mu.g i.c.v. [intracerebroventricular]) induced feeding was suppressed at the 20 .mu.g neurotensin dose but not at the 10 .mu.g or 1 .mu.g dose. Neurotensin did not suppress muscimol induced feeding at any of the doses. Insulin induced feeding (10 units s.c.) also was not suppressed by neurotension. Neurotensin suppressed dynorphin induced feeding at the 20 .mu.g and 10 .mu.g but not at the 1 .mu.g dose. Neurotensin suppressed spontaneous feeding (P < 0.01) in vagotomized rats (2.5 .+-. 0.3 g/2 h) when compared with saline controls (4.2 .+-. 0.5 g/2 h) suggesting that an intact vagus is not necessary for neurotensin''s anoretic effect. Neurotensin may play a role in short-term appetite regulation by a complex interaction with monoamines and neuropeptides; particularly NE and the kappa opiate agonist, dynorphin.
