Effect of ICV injection of control solution (normal saline + 0.1% Evans Blue), MCL0020 (selective MC4 receptor antagonist, 0.5 nmol), spexin (10 nmol) and a combination of MCL0020 plus spexin on cumulative food intake (g/100 g BW) in neonatal broiler chicks (n = 11 per group). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. Different letters (a, b and c) indicate significant differences between treatments at each time (P < 0.05). [Treatment effect: F(3,40) = 2847.59, P < 0.05; time effect: F(2,80) = 3475.38, P < 0.05; treatment × time interaction: F(6,80) = 24.73; P < 0.05]
