Abstract
Experiment 1 assessed the preference-aversion function of hamsters for water and 0.08, 0.15, 0.35, and 0.71 M NaCl solutions in the two-bottle test. Unlike rats, the hamsters did not show a strong preference for isotonic (0.15 M) saline, nor did they exhibit any preference for the other solutions. Experiment 2 examined the effects of hydrochlorothiazide on the hamsters' intake of 0.71 M NaCl solution. The results indicated that this diuretic agent did not cause the hamsters to increase their saline intake relative to the baseline level. Experiment 3 also indicated that a high (5 mg) dose of desoxycorticosterone acetate failed to produce sodium appetite in the hamsters. These results contrast with those found with rats.
实验1评估了两瓶试验中仓鼠对水和0.08、0.15、0.35、0.71 M NaCl溶液的偏好厌恶功能。与大鼠不同,仓鼠对等渗(0.15 M)盐水没有表现出强烈的偏好,对其他溶液也没有表现出任何偏好。实验2考察氢氯噻嗪对仓鼠0.71 M NaCl溶液摄取量的影响。结果表明,这种利尿剂并没有使仓鼠的生理盐水摄入量相对于基线水平增加。实验3还表明,高剂量(5毫克)的醋酸去氧皮质酮不能使仓鼠对钠产生食欲。这些结果与在老鼠身上发现的结果相反。
