CARTPT and Anxiety: It was reported that in rats and mice, ICV injection of small CART peptide fragments (89–103, super short form, 15 a.a.)increased anxiety-like behavior in the elevated plus-maze, and ICV administration of CART (82–103, super short form, 22 a.a.)(0.04–5.0 nmol) did not inhibit water intake and did not affect spontaneous locomotor activity.
