Four doses of phenylpropanolamine (PPA; i.e., dl-norephedrine: 2.5, 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg) and saline were injected intraperitoneally in female rats maintained on a dietary self-selection paradigm. Intake of all three macronutrients (carbohydrate, fat, and protein) was equally affected by high doses of PPA. Lower doses decreased fat and protein more than carbohydrate.
