Acquisition of dietary self-selection in rats with normal and impaired oral sensation

Miller, Maria G., Teates, Joseph F.·1985·Physiology & Behavior

Abstract

To study the mechanisms of dietary self-selection, the dietary choice behavior of rats was observed for up to 5 weeks, beginning on the first day of exposure to two nutritionally different diets, a high-protein diet (44% protein) and a protein-free carbohydrate diet. In Experiment 1 normal rats selected equal amounts of the two selection diets at first and over a 7-day period gradually modified the choice ratio until a stable protein intake of 14.6% (SE,0.4) of total intake was reached. In Experiment 2 rats were subjected to partial trigeminal deafferentation, which impairs oral somatosensory input (touch, temperature, pain), before the two selection diets were introduced. The deafferented animals did not develop a stable selection pattern; their protein ratio varied over the entire possible range (0-44%) throughout the experiment. It is hypothesized that quantitative protein/carbohydrate selection involves an associative learning process in which somatosensory inputs from the feeding activity and/or from the properties of the food link dietary choice behavior to later metabolic consequences.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • When given a choice, a wide range of species will self-select between diets that are high and low in protein in order to maintain protein intake.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
