Abstract
Adult rats starved for 5 days ate less than normal when food was reintroduced, whereas rats fed a non-nutritive diet by gastric intubation for 6 days and rats fed a complete diet by gastric intubation for fourteen days showed no such anorexia. The lack of eating experience did not interfere with normal eating upon reintroduction of food, indicating that poststarvation anorexia may be a result of gastrointestinal changes caused by a lack of dietary bulk.
