Abstract
A study of the effect of glucose injection on physiological variables in the rabbit showed slight but significant rises in temperature and breathing rate following glucose injection, different bodily areas responding differentially. The author suggests that physiological concomitants of intravenous glucose injection may form a part of the reinforcement process in addition to the primary reinforcing effect of nutritive need reduction.Keywords
