Conducted 3 experiments using a total of 11 female Sherman rats. In Ss bearing lateral hypothalamic electrodes that elicited both feeding and drinking, ip injection of the appetite suppressant drug phenylpropanolamine (Propadrine) inhibited only feeding. This occurred whether feeding and drinking were tested simultaneously or separately. Selective inhibition of lateral hypothalamic feeding also followed injection of this drug through lateral, but not medial, hypothalamic electrode cannulas. It is concluded that hypothalamically induced feeding is under some of the same pharmacological controls as spontaneous feeding, that this control may be exerted, in part, in or near the lateral hypothalamus, and that the neural systems which induce feeding and drinking during hypothalamic stimulation can be pharmacologically separated.
