Recent evidence indicate that melanotan II (MTII) reduces body mass independently of
caloric reduction. Because MTII induces a transient hypophagia, caloric reduction is still
considered a primary mechanism for MTII-mediated body mass loss. To examine the
contribution of caloric reduction to long-term body mass loss in response to MTII, we
centrally infused MTII or vehicle in ad libitum fed (MTII and Control) animals in comparison
with a group of animals that were pair-fed (PF) to the MTII group. Food intake and body mass …
