Abstract

Previous studies indicated that gustatory signals are critical for regulation of sodium intake. The present study was concerned with the relative effects of sodium repletion via ingestion and via gastric intubation upon the satiation of sodium appetite in rats subjected to sodium depletion for the first time in their lives. The results showed that, in comparison to glucose or sham intubation, sodium intubation has no short-term satiating effect, whereas prior ingestion of sodium results in complete satiation of sodium appetite.
