Description:
An investigation was made of the role of glucose in the regulation of hunger and satiety in the rabbit. Glucose, when infused intraduodenally at a low rate (1 milliliter per minute), produced a decrease in food intake. However, when glucose was infused into the duodenum at a high rate (3 milliliters per minute), the rabbits nearly doubled their food intake during the first half-hour after infusion. It is hypothesized that the rapid arrival and glucose in the duodenum may produce hunger.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Geiselman, P J -- Novin, D -- NS7687/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1982 Oct 29;218(4571):490-1.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7123251" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
