| Research Abstract |
Olfactory and taste sensory information is generally recognized to be important in forming individual food preference. The maximal BGL was significantly decreased under both conditions with anosmic and NG-fed rats, respectively. The two-bottle preference test demonstrated that both low and high concentrations of glucose solutions were not preferred by the anosmic rats in comparison with normosmic rats. Olfactory and taste sensory inputs possibly contribute to glucose preference and digestion through modulatory effects on glucose kinetics.
