Failure of 2-deoxy-D-glucose to stimulate feeding in deermice

Deermice (Peromyscus maniculatus) did not increase their food intake above baseline following treatment with 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG, 500 or 1000 mg/kg). They did eat more following food deprivation or treatment with insulin at a high dose (100 U/kg). House mice (Mus musculus) showed hyperphagia to 2DG, low dose of insulin (5 U/kg) and deprivation.
