Chronic food restriction in rats augments the central rewarding effect of cocaine and the δ1 opioid agonist, DPDPE, but not the δ2 agonist, deltorphin-II
Rationale: Chronic food restriction augments the self-administration and locomotor stimulating effects of opiates, psychostimulants and NMDA antagonists. The extent to which these effects can be attributed to cha...

Rewarding and locomotor-activating effects of direct dopamine receptor agonists are augmented by chronic food restriction in rats
Rationale: Previous studies indicate that chronic food restriction augments the rewarding and motor-activating effects of diverse drugs of abuse. The drugs that have so far proved susceptible to the augmenting e...

The melanocortin receptor agonist MTII augments the rewarding effect of amphetamine in ad-libitum-fed and food-restricted rats
Rationale: Numerous forms of evidence support a functional association between drug-seeking and ingestive behavior. One example is the augmentation of rewarding and cellular-activating effects of abused drugs by ...
