SR 141716 (1 and 3 mg/kg p.o.), a selective central (CB1) cannabinoid receptor antagonist, selectively reduced feeding of a very highly palatable cane-sugar mixture in marmosets. In contrast, standard primate pellet intake was not modified at the lower dose, but was slightly increased (+29%;p < 0.01) by the higher dose of SR 141716. These results are in agreement with the hypothesis that endogenous cannabinoid systems are involved in the modulation of the appetitive value of food.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D043882	Receptors, Cannabinoid	A class of G-protein-coupled receptors that are specific for CANNABINOIDS such as those derived from CANNABIS. They also bind a structurally distinct class of endogenous factors referred to as ENDOCANNABINOIDS. The receptor class may play a role in modulating the release of signaling molecules such as NEUROTRANSMITTERS and CYTOKINES.	Cannabinoid Receptor,Cannabinoid Receptors,Receptor, Cannabinoid
