“…LeVan, Moos, and Hebron (1968) feel that saccharin avoidance by mice is due to changes in taste perception rather than changes in the patho-physiology of the animals since irradiation alters the test solution. LeVan and Moos (1967b) postulate that since hydrogen peroxide is a radiolytic product of water and aqueous solutions, it induces avoidance behavior in mice.…”

“…Mice showed avoidance behavior to irradiated water and saccharin solutions and to water and saccharin solutions with hydrogen peroxide added just as x-irradiated mice showed aversion to unirradiated saccharin solutions. The degree of avoidance of irradiated saccharin solution in mice varied with the x-ray dose absorbed by the solution (LeVan, Moos and Hebron, 1968). Since acatalasaemic mice showed saccharin avoidance after x-radiation treatment to a significantly less degree than did normal mice, Morris and Feinstein (1969) also concluded that hydrogen peroxide must be involved in the aversion.…”
