    Vernalis Research Limited, Oakdene Court, 613 Reading Road, Winnersh RG41 5UA, UK
    Neuropharmacology 41:200-9. 2001
    ..These data provide unequivocal evidence for an important role of the 5-HT2C receptor in the mediation of d-fenfluramine and d-norfenfluramine-induced hypophagia in the rat and do not support the involvement of 5-HT1A/1B/2A/2B receptors...
