The ability of intraintestinal nutrient infusions to suppress sham feeding was examined in
intact rats and in rats with total subdiaphragmatic vagal transections. Vagotomy abolished …

The arrival of nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract suppresses intake. To specify the neural
pathways and receptor locations of this feedback, we examined the effects of intraduodenal …

A comparative study on the satiating effect of duodenal infusions of glycerol, casein and
glucose was performed in intact and vagotomized rabbits during both diurnal and nocturnal …

Normal rats, and rats with lesions in the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA), ventromedial
hypothalamus (VMH), or with subdiaphragmatic vagotomies were duodenally infused with …

Nineteen female Wistar rats were employed in a self-selection-of-diet study assessing the
effects of vagotomy on macronutrient consumption. Nutrients offered were a 30% sucrose …

Using a gastric barostat to measure gastric tone, we previously demonstrated that nutrient
perfusion into the intestine induces gastric relaxation. To investigate the pathway of this …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The gut-brain axis, which transmits nutrient information from the
gastrointestinal tract to the brain, is important for the detection of dietary nutrients. We used …

We examined the role of the vagus nerves in mediating the eating and preprandial drinking
seen after injection of norepinephrine (NE) into the region of the paraventricular …

Normal rats and rats with bilateral subdiaphragmatic vagotomy, each equipped with a
pyloric noose, ate liquid food after 3-hr food deprivation. When the noose was open …

Volume and chemical characteristics of meals in the gut have been proposed to generate
vagal afferent signals that mediate the negative feedback control of ingestion and gastric …
