Abstract
Following a brief period of handling or enclosed rotation, rats increased the frequency of drinking relative to eating. Handling also delayed or eliminated eating behavior in hypoosmotic rats. Osmometric analysis revealed a rapid increase in serum osmolality during stress which may account for the emergence of thirst and disruption of eating.Keywords
