Conditioned glycemic responses in the control of food intake.

Abstract

CONDITIONED HYPERGLYCEMIA WAS OBTAINED IN THE RAT USING GLUCAGON INJECTIONS AS UCS AND THE INJECTION PROCEDURE ALONE AS CS. IN ANOTHER EXPERIMENT, A CONDITIONED INCREASE IN AN INSTRUMENTAL RESPONSE FOR FOOD WAS OBTAINED USING INSULIN AS UCS AND THE INJECTION PROCEDURE AS CS. IT IS HYPOTHESIZED THAT NEUROHUMORAL CONDITIONING MODULATES INSTRUMENTAL FOOD-GETTING RESPONSES. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
