All rats received the applicable diet for 21 days before testing was initiated with a 48-hr, two-bottle preference paradigm. Results of the study indicated that rats supplemented with methionine alone had significantly greater preferences for the salt solutions than rats from either of the remaining groups. Dietary treatment did not affect total volume intake (milliliters per gram body weight). Further analysis of the separate water and sodium chloride solution volume intakes demonstrated that while all groups consumed essentially equivalent amounts of water, the rats supplemented with methionine alone consumed significantly increased amounts of the salt solutions, thus manifesting an increased percentage preference. The results indicate that methionine, a thiol-containing amino acid, can alter preferences for sodium chloride solutions and that this effect can be reversed by zinc supplementation. The etiology of this change in preference behavior may be related to either decreased gustatory sensitivity (mediated by zinc depletion and/or thiol supplementation) or to salt craving (mediated by kidney and/or adrenal dysfunction).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":75577,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral biology","volume":"24 4","pages":"Pages 457-466"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0091-6773(78)90783-6","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"11947652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Borison and Wang have shown that emetic reflexes in dogs and cats are integrated in a brainstem center which responds to local gastric irritation mediated by the vagus or to bloodborne toxins monitored by brain stem chemoreceptors. This same afferent system may mediate taste-illness conditioning since the emetic center is anatomically associated with the relay nucleus for primary taste afferents. We have shown that subdiaphragmatic vagotomy in rats disrupts the acquisition of a saccharin aversion induced by repeated conditioning trials with low doses of intragastric or intraperitoneal copper sulfate. In contrast, there is little effect on the aversion produced by a single, larger dose of copper sulfate injected directly into the blood via the tail vein, although vagotomized rats displayed an accelerated extinction pattern. These results parallel reports on the effect of vagotomy on vomiting reflexes in dogs and suggest a functional relationship between acute vomiting reflexes in dogs and suggest a functional relationship between acute vomiting reflexes which eject poison and chronic conditioned taste aversions which inhibit subsequent ingestion of poison; further, they provide evidence that these responses are subserved, at least in part, by similar neural mechanisms.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":75577,"journal":{"name":"Behavioral biology","volume":"24 4","pages":"Pages 509-519"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1978-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0091-6773(78)90903-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"11947656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
