“…Ingestion of these quantities of solute by a neonate with immature kidneys must therefore have produced an osmotic load. Osmotically challenged adult rats avoid hypertonic NaCl solutions and avidly consume water instead if it is available (Stellar, Hyman, & Samet, 1954). Osmotically challenged pups as young as 2 days will do the same in tests lasting 20 min or longer (Wirth & Epstein, 1976;Bruno, 1981).…”

Many mammals eat salt irrespective of need. This behavior, called salt preference or appetite, is studied primarily in adults. Little is known about its ontogeny. In these experiments, 3-18-day-old rat pups were offered saline, quinine, or ammonium chloride solutions by infusion through an anterior oral catheter, and intake was measured. At 6-18 days, pups showed the inverted U-shaped preference-aversion curve for NaCl that is characteristic of adult rats. Thus, rats express a preference for salt at a very early age. However, the curves were broader than the typical adult curve and were shifted along the concentration gradient in an age-related fashion. Consumption of quinine and ammonium chloride showed similar age-related changes. These changes may reflect the postnatal timing of the development of the rat gustatory system.

“…At Tifton, the sediment was dried and mixed, and a sample was taken for analysis. The supernatant was discarded at Tifton because it had a negligible calcium content (3)-a finding which indicated that the supernatant would also contain negligible anlounts of Srw since strontium is adsorbed on soils more readily than calcium (4).…”

“…It is well established that rats prefer isotonic solutions of NaCI (Stellar, Hyman, & Samet, 1954) and glucose (McCleary, 1953) to water. The preference, usually expressed in terms of volume of solution consumed over that of water, approaches the ratio of 2: 1 with both solutions.…”

Effect of dypsogenic stimuli on licking response execution of the rat

In two experiments, effect of several dypsogenic stimuli upon licking response force in rats was investigated. Independent variables were preferred solutions vs water, stimulus intensity, length of water deprivation, and extinction conditions. Measurements of response forces were made with a water spout fitted on a pressure transducer and its output fed into a signal averager or a digital computer. Results indicated the response force to be primarily a function of the stimulus intensity. A tenfold reduction in stimulus intensity accounted for close to a three-and-one-half-fold increase in licking response force. Although less pronounced, water deprivation also affected the response force . The animals' preference for NaCI and glucose solutions was not reflected on licking response force . Finally, contrary to some suggestions from literature, extinction condition did not generate higher response forces than the control conditions. Results are interpreted in terms of role of feedback information in generation of licking responses and its potential value in further exploration of other aspects of water regulating functions.
