PG - 161-6 AB - Intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) microinfusion of epidermal growth factor (EGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and platelet factor 4 (PF4) suppressed 2 h and nighttime food intake in rats. The following daytime food intake did not change or increased. I.c.v. infusion of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) suppressed only 2 h food intake. I.c.v. infusion of bovine serum albumin (BSA), nerve growth factor (NGF), or inactivated EGF, bFGF and PF4 had no effect. Intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of EGF, bFGF, PF4 and PDGF in doses equivalent to or higher than those administered centrally had no effect. The results suggest a central action of growth factors and platelet peptides on feeding regulation.
