Effects of electroconvulsive shock on food and water intake in the rat. 1977

M J Prewett, and J S Milner

Forty-two male rats were habituated to laboratory conditions for four weeks under constant light conditions. Food and water intakes were recorded daily. Following the habituation period half of the animals were given electroconvulsive shock (ECS) and half Sham-ECS (SECS). ECS treatments produced significant decrements in both food and eater intakes which returned to baseline levels after three days.
