Effects of sodium deficiency on sodium saccharin drinking

Abstract

This experiment attempts to test Warren & Warren’s (1966) hypothesis that the persistence of intake of nonnutritive sodium saccharin is due in part to the sodium content of the solution. The intakes of sodium saccharin, sodium chloride, and deionized water by sodium-sufficient and by sodium-deficient rats were compared, using a single-stimulus technique. The results contradict Warren and Warren’s findings, leading to the conclusion that sodium does not play an important role in saccharin preference.
