A re-examination of septal lesion-induced weight gain in female rats.

abstract：:A previous observation that adrenalectomized (ADX) rats were more anorectic and lost more weight than intact controls when treated with the serotonergic agent, d,l-fenfluramine, was confirmed using a high dose of the more selective d-enantiomer, dexfenfluramine (DFEN). However, ADX rats were not more anorectic than in...

In rats, giving intermittent access to sweet fat food mimics this aspect of binge eating.
