Factors affecting thermogenic drinking in rats.

E L Nelson, M J Fregly, P E Tyler

    The American Journal of Physiology
    |June 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cold exposure in rats induces drinking upon transfer to warmer temperatures, suggesting cold-induced dehydration. This thermogenic drinking response is triggered by significant temperature changes.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Animal Behavior

    Background:

    • Cold air exposure can impact physiological states in mammals.
    • Understanding thermoregulatory responses is crucial for animal physiology research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the drinking behavior of rats following cold air exposure.
    • To determine the role of temperature change in inducing drinking.

    Main Methods:

    • Rats were exposed to cold air (5°C) for 6 hours.
    • Rats were then transferred to a warmer environment (26°C) to observe drinking responses.
    • Water access was manipulated, and water loads were administered to assess drinking inhibition.

    Main Results:

    • Drinking was induced within 15 minutes of transfer to warmer air.
    • A temperature difference of at least 10°C was required to trigger drinking.
    • Preventing water access did not inhibit drinking, but water loading did.

    Conclusions:

    • Cold exposure leads to a dehydrated state in rats.
    • Temperature change is a significant stimulus for thermogenic drinking.
    • The drinking response mimics that seen in dehydrated animals.
