摘要
Abdominally vagotomized rats maintained on a solid diet drank less and had longer latencies to drink than sham vagotomized rats following IP injection of an osmotic load (0.75 M NaCl, 1% BW). However, these two groups did not differ in latency or water intake following injection of isotonic saline. Since both vagotomized and control rats drank more water and had shorter latencies following injection of hypertonic saline than after isotonic saline, vagotomy apparently attenuated but did not abolish osmotic drinking. Maintenance on a liquid diet and a brief fast prior to testing (to ensure an empty stomach) did not alter these results, indicating that the impairment of gastric emptying of solid food that accompanies total abdominal vagotomy cannot account for the attenuation of osmotically induced drinking. Furthermore, this deficit was seen even when intracellular dehydration was produced at different times during the circadian cycle and when water presentation was delayed 0.5 hr postinjection. In addition, vagotomized rats drank less than control rats following 16-hr water deprivation and exhibited a lower water-food ratio on ad lib regimen. However, vagotomized and sham vagotomized rats exhibited the same relative day-night difference in water consumption as well as short latency response to thermal pain, which with other results indicates that vagotomy did not result in a general impairment of behavior. These findings suggest that osmotic perturbations are detected by the viscera and the information conveyed to the brain via afferent vagus nerves. © 1979.
