Effects of chronic intraperitoneal administration of the GABA-B receptor agonist 3-aminopropyl (methyl) phosphinic acid on food intake and body weight in rats

This study shows that chronic SKF-97541 administration reduces body weight gain in rats without affecting food intake, supporting the role of GABAB receptors in weight regulation through increased metabolic rate.

Effects of the GABAB receptor agonist 3-aminopropyl (methyl) phosphinic acid on food intake in free feeding rats

This study investigates the effects of SKF97541, a GABAB receptor agonist, on food intake in rats, finding dose-dependent increases and tolerance effects.

Does repeated administration of baclofen in free feeding rats reduce body weight by stimulating brown fat metabolism through activation of the sympathetic nervous system?

This study tests if baclofen reduces body weight in rats by stimulating brown fat metabolism via the sympathetic nervous system, but finds propranolol does not block this effect.

Repeated intraperitoneal administration of the GABAB receptor agonist baclofen reduces body weight in the mouse.

This study shows that baclofen reduces body weight in mice without affecting food intake, supporting the hypothesis that GABAB receptor agonists increase metabolic rate.
