Summary

Contrary to earlier findings in rats, cerebral lateral ventricular infusions of 1×10−3 M or 2×10−3 M solutions of phloridzin at a rate of 2.5 μl/min for 90 min had no significant stimulating effects on food intake and weight gain in hens and cocks. These different responses to intraventricular phloridzin might reflect a difference of sensitivity to the inhibitory action of phloridzin on glucose transport in cerebral cells or certain peculiarities of mechanisms controlling food intake in chickens.
