Influence of changing patterns of sucrose consumption on industrial users. Response by manufacturers of soft drinks, biscuits, cereals, cakes confectionery, ice-cream, jams, canned products and other sugar-containing foods to the U. K. dietary guidelines that relate to sucrose consumption.
… on its use and functional qualities. Supplies of sucrose entering the food chain have declined 25% between the 1950's and 1980's and currently stand around 37 kg/person/year. Furthermore, U. K. dietary guidelines over the past 14 years have consistently suggested caution over how much sugar is …

Increase of glucocorticoids is not required for the acquisition, but hinders the extinction, of lithium-induced conditioned taste aversion
… or RU 486 (20mg/kg) immediately after 5% sucrose access, and then an intraperitoneal injection of isotonic lithium chloride (12ml/kg) was followed with 30 min interval. Rats had either 1 or 7 days of recovery period before the daily sucrose drinking tests. In experiment 2, rats were …

Investigating the role of extrasynaptic GABAA receptors located in the infralimbic cortex in the binge-like alcohol intake of male C57BL/6J mice
… promotional and inhibitory effects on alcohol consumption. The goal of this project was to determine the role of extrasynaptic GABAA receptors located in the infralimbic cortex (ILC) in the binge-like alcohol intake of male C57BL/6J (B6) mice. The ILC is of interest due to its demonstrated …

A factor analytic-genetic approach to the relationship between morphology and behavior in mice
… 40 days of age, including: body weights, oxygen consumption, activity in a wheel and an open field, sucrose consumption when food deprived, body weight changes when bitter and high fat diets were given as the only food, organ weights, specific gravity, body length, and tibia length. A …

An Examination of Affective Blunting in Rodents
… performance of a light aversion task and a sucrose preference test. The light aversion task presents subjects with a bright aversive light which can be terminated by a head-entry into an apparatus, and are measured as escape responses. The sucrose preference test measures amount of sucrose …

Dopamine and reward : effects of dopamine antagonist drugs on operant and consummatory behaviours
… of behaviour, and Parkinson's disease. Consumption of sucrose and operant responding maintained by sucrose pellets follows an inverted-U-shaped concentration-intake function. Systemic administration of raclopride shifted the curve to the right. It is argued that this curve shift reflects …

Anorexigenic effects of naltrexone in rats
… of NTX as a suppressant of palatability-driven consumption. Previous studies indicate that rats cannot discriminate NTX from saline, except at very high doses. However, in those discrimination experiments, NTX-treated animals had not been fed palatable foods, i.e., diets whose consumption …

Causes of Naive Ethanol Avoidance in Drosophila Melanogaster
… RESULTS: On average, Drosophila flies ate less sucrose when ethanol was added. One reason for this was that fewer flies initiated feeding. Upon silencing of gustatory neurons that perceive aversive tastes, flies showed less aversion to ethanol-containing food in the choice FRAPPE assay. As I …

Effects of Prazosin Treatment on Ethanol- and Sucrose-Seeking and Intake in P Rats
… on motivation to seek versus consume ethanol or sucrose in selectively bred rats given acute or chronic prazosin treatment. Methods: Alcohol-preferring P rats were trained to complete an operant response that resulted in access to either 2% (Exp. 1) or 1% (Exp.2) sucrose or 10% ethanol. In …

Role of group II metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 2 (mGluR2) in appetitive and consummatory aspects of ethanol reinforcement
… mGluRs are involved in regulating ethanol (EtOH) consumption and seeking following extinction (Backstrom and Hyytia, 2005; Kufahl, et al., 2011). The sipper tube model, which allows for procedural separation of seeking and consumption, was used to further clarify the role of mGluR2/3 in …

Blood glucose and plasma lipids of Zucker fatty and lean rats fed diets containing cornstarch and sucrose
The effects of consumption of diets high in sucrose and cornstarch on glucose and lipid metabolism in Zucker fatty and lean rats and Sprague-Dawley rats were investigated in the present study. Rats of each strain or genotype, 8 to 10 months of age, were fed diets containing 56% cornstarch or 57% …

Effects of alcohol and ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol on energy balance and cognitive behaviors
Habitual consumption of energy-dense foods is a notable contributor to the high incidence of obesity and metabolic syndrome worldwide. The extent to which calories from alcohol contribute to overweight and obesity is debatable. ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive constitute of …
