Substance P (SP) is an 11-amino acid tachykinin-related peptide that has anorexigenic effects in birds and mammals although the central mechanism is not well understood. Hence, the objective was to identify appetite-associated hypothalamic mechanisms in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica). Seven days post-hatch, quail were intracerebroventricularly injected with 0, 0.25, 0.5 or 1.0 nmol of SP and monitored for 180 min. On a cumulative basis, quail that received 0.5 and 1.0 nmol of SP consumed less food for 90 min post-injection. On a
