Abstract

Blood serum osmolality values and behavioral measures were obtained from food and water-deprived and nondeprived rats. No differences were observed in osmolality values, whereas substantial differences were observed between deprived and nondeprived groups in latency and duration of eating. The majority of deprived animals ate before drinking when simultaneously presented with food and water. Body fluid osmolality does not appear to play a primary role in the initiation of eating under conditions of combined food and water deprivation.
