Appetite-Enhancing Effects: The Influence of Concentrations of Benzylacetone and trans-Cinnamaldehyde and Their Inhalation Time, as Well as the Effect of Aroma, on Body Weight in Mice

抄録

Benzylacetone has appetite-enhancing and locomotor-reducing effects. The effective doses for these two outcomes overlap, and the weight gain of mice exposed to benzylacetone is caused by both appetite-enhancement and a reduction in locomotor activity. The appetite-enhancing effects of trans-cinnamaldehyde and benzylacetone have been reported previously. In this study, these appetite-enhancing effects were seen in mice after short-term, high-dose exposure.
