Eating as a regulatory control of drinking in the rat.

Abstract: Continuous recordings of eating and drinking under ad-lib and stable conditions in the rat show that at least 70% of total water intake is taken with meals. There is a significant positive correlation between the amount of water associated with a meal and the size of that meal and this holds for different diets and enforced feeding schedules. On a protein diet the ratio of associated water to meal size is higher than on a carbohydrate diet. During the transition from carbohydrate to protein, water intake incre… Show more

“…The reservation for the absence of heat and osmotic effectsnotedabove should include high protein diets. Fitzsimons & Le Magnen (1969) found that the water-to-food intake ratio is much higher on protein-rich diets than on a carbohydraterich ones. This difference is commonly attributed to the larger osmotic load and requirement of urinary output due to large protein catabolism in protein-rich diets.…”

“…Increased intake of water without an increase in food intake is thought to be due to cellular or extracellular hypovolic stimuli, which may include intake of water in anticipation of future needs (30). Considering an apparent absence of hemorrhage, the logical explanation for thirst in rats during a recuperation phase therefore is to rid the body of excess solutes that are produced by increased metabolism by yet unnamed sources.…”

“…Considering an apparent absence of hemorrhage, the logical explanation for thirst in rats during a recuperation phase therefore is to rid the body of excess solutes that are produced by increased metabolism by yet unnamed sources. During phases of sleep restriction, the progressive nature of the increases in intake of water emerged along with those for food intake, indicating prandial drinking (30,43), a regulatory response that maintains osmotic balance as food is absorbed (reviewed in Ref. 85).…”

“…Increases in erythroid parameters were considered due to dehydration since drinking behav- Table 4. Effects of food reduction on organ weight (grams) in dietary-optimized rats ior in rats has been reported to be elicited by food intake (Fitzsimons and Magnen, 1969;Kraly, 1984), indicating food restriction could induce dehydration in rats. Contrary, there were also observations indicative of decreases in erythrocytes such as bone marrow depletion and hemolysis.…”
