Effects of melanin-concentrating hormone on licking microstructure and brief-access taste responses

Abstract: The effects of intracerebroventricular application of melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) on licking for sucrose, quinine hydrochloride (QHCl), and water solutions were evaluated in two experiments. In experiment 1, rats received 90-min access to sucrose and water solutions after MCH or vehicle microinjection to the third ventricle (3V). MCH increased intake largely through increases in the rate of licking early in the meal and in the mean duration of lick bursts, suggesting an effect on gustatory evaluation. … Show more

“…However, there was no significant main effect of drug for either treatment group and no significant interaction term (Table 2). While the failure of NPY to increase burst size is consistent with previous reports after forebrain ICV NPY stimulation, the failure of MCH to affect burst size observed here stands in contrast to findings noted after 3V administration (7,9,50,78). This failure of MCH was also observed when bursts were expressed in terms of their mean duration (s/burst) rather than mean size [F(1,9) = 0.00, P = 0.99], while the monotonic increase in burst duration across tastants was conserved [F(3,27) = 4.54, P = 0.01; data not shown].…”

“…Furthermore, the increases in initial ingestion rate after 3V NPY treatment (where observed) were not accompanied by increases in the mean size of licking bursts (7, 50, 78): these two measures normally vary in tandem when rats are offered tastants of increasing palatability (e.g., Fig. 4) or those that are naturally or conditioned to be aversive (7,9,10,25,74,75). …”
