In 6 experiments with 68 male Sprague-Dawley rats, the oral stimulation arising from food in
the mouth produced a stereotyped sequence of ingestive consummatory responses and a …

A general “glucoreceptor” defect, demonstrable in pancreatic islet and taste cells, may
contribute to the metabolic and taste abnormalities of adult onset diabetes and possibly, if …

Feeding and drinking responses to varying subcutaneous doses of short-acting insulin were
determined. At a near optimum dose (20 units/kg), augmentation of feeding lasted 3–4 hr …

Oral, gastric and intestinal influences interact to control food intake, but differences in
methodology make comparisons between the influences of these stimuli difficult to interpret …

With two exceptions, the literature shows that confining ingested fluid to the stomach of a rat
during an intake test had no effect on the volume ingested. In the two exceptions (JD Davis …

Rats were fitted with gastric cannulas to determine gastric emptying rates of liquid test meals
after a 16-h fast. They were allowed to drink [14C] polyethylene glycol (PEG) Vivonex High …

Rats were given a series of starch meals. Half the meals were of a 65% starch solution with
one taste added and the other meals were 5% carbohydrate which had been given another …

Most experiments on satiation do not separate the contribution to meal size of cumulative
intake from that of time since meal onset. To assess the relative contributions of temporal …

When 0.8 M sucrose is sham fed, intake increases progressively on consecutive tests and
then plateaus. Interspersing two real feeding tests between sham feeding tests prevents this …

Adult female vagotomized and control (sham-vagotomized) rats were compared in their
consumption of saccharin solutions, intake of solid and liquid sucrose, and selection of …
