Abstract
This work assesses whether or not GDF15 produces emesis and/or emetic-like behaviors in the vomiting shrew (Suncus murinus) and non-vomiting rat. The results suggest that exogenous delivery of GDF15 produces either emesis or emetic-like behavior (i.e., pica) prior to the induction of anorexia in shrews and rats, respectively.
