The result is a sense of satiety, diminishing the desire to ingest more food, tobacco, alcohol, or maybe even recreational drugs
Animals were fasted for 2 hours prior to intraperitoneal injection of glucose (2 g/kg) +/- exendin-4 (1 nmol/kg) and continued to fast for 6 hours when blood glucose levels were assessed from the tail vein using a Contour glucometer (Bayer) and strips at 0-, 10-, 30-, and 60-minute time-points, with glucose response curves generated from these data
While designing studies using high doses of APAP (such as 600 mg/kg) in mice, it is important to properly control the extent of fasting prior to APAP administration as excessive fasting (more than 12 h) may result in high mortality such that analysis of late time points might be difficult

In another cohort study, the use of SSRIs during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy doubled the risk of ASD in offspring, regardless of a maternal history of depression (127)
