Two experiments, each with 28 female Long-Evans rats, examined whether some of the depression in food intake observed in rats with vagotomy could be due to the development of aversions to the foods eaten after surgery. In Exp I, significant aversions developed to the specific novel diet consumed after vagotomy, results indicating that the symptoms associated with vagotomy (hypophagia, weight loss, discomfort) can serve as effective UCSs in the acquisition of learned food aversions. Exp II compared vagotomized Ss consuming familiar laboratory chow with those consuming a novel diet. In contrast to the novel diets, learned aversions to the familiar chow did not develop and hypophagia was less persistent and severe. It is concluded that learned food aversions can contribute to the appetite and weight loss exhibited by vagotomized animals. Consideration of the conditions under which these aversions arise after vagotomy surgery may allow for the design of studies so as to minimize the aversions and thereby separate these nonspecific effects from direct regulatory deficits produced by vagotomy.(22 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
