Note(s): In order to gain further insight into the mechanism of contingent tolerance to amphetamine anorexia (Carlton & Wolgin, 1971), an attempt was made to determine the role of anorexia and behavioral activation (increased locomotion and/or stereotypy) in the initial suppression of feeding produced by the drug. Rats administered chronic injections of either saline or amphetamine (2 or 4 mg/kg) were given milk either directly into the mouth through an intraoral cannula or in a standard drinking tube. It was reasoned that although drug-induced anorexia would affect intake with both methods of feeding to the same degree, the disruptive effect of behavioral activation would be greater in bottle-fed rats. The results revealed that bottle-fed rats given amphetamine showed substantially greater suppression of intake than cannula-fed rats.
