The effect of arginine vasopressin (VP) on cumulative food intake and meal pattern was tested in pygmy goats. VP injected intraperitoneally (I.P.) (0.75, 1.5 and 3.0 micrograms kg-1 body weight) appeared to reduce food intake in a dose-dependent manner by reducing the size of the first meal and by increasing the first intermeal interval (IMI). The hypophagic effect of VP was reversed by both a V1-receptor antagonist and an alpha-adrenergic antagonist. Exogenous VP (0.75 and 1.5 microgram kg-1 body weight I.P.) produced increases in plasma VP concentration which also may occur in stressful situations. VP might therefore be related to stress-induced anorexia.
