Figure 3From: Effects of "Bioactive" amino acids leucine, glutamate, arginine and tryptophan on feed intake and mRNA expression of relative neuropeptides in broiler chicksCumulative feed intake of broiler chicks after ICV administration with saline (control, n = 9), 0.8 μmol (n = 10) or 1.6 μmol (n = 7) L-glutamate. Feed intake was recorded at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 h post-administration; Data are represented as means ± S.E.M. Asterisk indicates significant difference from control group within each time point (P < 0.05).Back to article page
