Apelin, the endogenous peptide ligand of the APJ receptor, is expressed in brain regions implicated in food and water intake.. This study reports for the first time, the effect of apelin-12, one of the most potent apelin peptides, on spontaneous (nocturnal) feeding. Randomised intracerebroventricular injection of 1, 3 and 10 nmol apelin-12 or saline vehicle, 10 min prior to lights out, led to dose-dependent reductions in food intake 2-4 h after injection (n=7; p
