Short-latency antidiuresis following the initation of food ingestion.

A factor associated with the ingestion of food is shown to produce a short-latency antidiuresis. Animals consuming large quantities of a highly palatable solution during a period of food deprivation exhibit an antidiuresis immediately following the initiation of eating. The rapidity of the response raises the possibility of a signaling factor separate from postingestional influences.

Modification of motivated behavior elicited by electrical stimulation of the hypothalamus.

Previous reports demonstrated that hypothalamic stimulation may elicit either eating, drinking, or gnawing and emphasized both the specificity of the neural circuits mediating these behaviors and the similarity to behavior during natural-drive states such as hunger and thirst. We find that, after a period of very consistent elicitation of one of these behaviors, the animal may exhibit an equally consistent alternate behavior. A learning component is implicated in the association of hypothalamic stimulation with a particular behavior pattern.

Sex differences in taste preference for glucose and saccharin solutions.

Taste preferences of mature male and female rats for caloric and noncaloric sweet solutions have been found to differ. Although females do not drink more water than males, they consume significantly greater quantities of a slightly sweet 3 percent glucose and a very sweet 0.25 percent saccharin solution. When given a choice, males switch their initial preference for a saccharin solution to a preference for a glucose solution after several days, while females maintain a preference for the saccharin solution. Females also prefer significantly higher concentrations of saccharin than males do.
