Preabsorptive insulin responses to sweet tasting stimuli in the rat.

The responses of horses to predator stimuli

It is not known whether the instincts of wild horses have remained strong during their centuries of domestication. Knowledge of this matter would give riders the opportunity to know more about the behavior of horses and consequently about safety for both horses and riders. In this current research, we studied the behavior of fifteen Caspian miniature horses of different ages and sexes using sti...

8 Sweet - tasting Proteins

Chemoreception: Tasting the sweet and the bitter

Our understanding of the molecular basis of taste transduction has lagged behind that of other senses, but now a signalling protein-the G protein alpha subunit gustducin-has been shown to be taste-tissue specific and essential for both bitter and sweet tastes.

Preabsorptive insulin release and hypoglycemia in rats.

Peripheral blood glucose and immunologically reactive insulin levels were determined in freely moving normal rats which were submitted either to a free oral glucose load or to a gastric administration of the glucose load. Identical determinations were performed in ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus-(VMH) lesioned and vagotomized rats after the same oral intake. It was demonstrated that: 1) a fre...
