Abstract
Chicks genetically selected for low juvenile body weight had a lower threshold of central insulin-induced decreased food and water intake and whole blood glucose concentration than those selected for juvenile high body weight. Plasma corticosterone concentration was increased but not differently between lines. Therefore, selection may have affected insulin sensitivity which may have then contributed to their hypo- and hyperphagia and differential body weights.
