ABSTRACT
Effect on food intake and body weight was studied in rats after oral administration of cimetidine. Rats in experimental (E) group exhibited less increase in food intake (20%) compared to control (C) rats (43.8%). Mean body weight showed first reduction (-9.56%) and then very small increment in experimental animals compared to gradual gain in body weight in control animals. At the end of 6 weeks, total gain in body weight was 22.5 gm in rats of E group against 53.8 gm in rats of C group. Food efficiency ratio (FER) showed much reduction (1.13) in E group against 2.07 in C group. These results demonstrate that cimetidine (H2-receptor blocker) may have ability to reduce food intake and body weight in rats.
