Abstract
Rats evince the ability to develop a sensory recognition of the presence of molybdenum in the diet, and to make use of this ability in the efficient rejection of diets containing toxic levels of that metal. The sensory factor relied upon appears to result from the interaction of molybdate with other dietary constituents. Factors operative in the development of discrimination against molybdenum are delineated and discussed.
