Abstract
This study evaluated effects of sucralosa or glucose concentration over feeding behaviour and body weight. Twenty-four Wistar rats (3 months old at the start of the experiment) forming 2 groups, each one with six females and six males, were exposed to 2 kinds of solutions (sucralosa or glucose). Sucralosa and glucose group were divided in two subgroups, everyone with three males and females. Every subgroup were exposed to two kinds of glucose or sucrose programs, ascendant or descendent over 12 intermittent days (0.66, 1.33, 2, 2.66, 3.33, 4, 4.66, 5.33, 6, 6.66, 7.33 and 8 g of sucrose diluted on 200 ml of water; and 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65 and 70 g of glucose diluted on 200 ml of water). Data suggest that rats drank great amounts of sucrose or glucose solutions (independently of content of calories), decremented their food consumption and maintained their body weight. The role of sweet, taste and calories over feeding patterns is discussed.
