ABSTRACT
Rats exposed to lead (lead acetate) in doses of 0.2 and 0.5 mg/ml in drinking water for a period of 90 days showed mild to moderate changes in food consumption compared to control group. Drug interactions in lead exposed rats with metoclopramide, atropine sulphate, propranolol, cyproheptadine and mepyramine maleate when administered intraperitoneally caused -30 to +30 percentage variation in food intake indicating the influence of adrenergic, serotonergic and cholinergic neurotransmitters with no change in mean body weight of lead treated rats.
