Thirst satiation and the temperature of ingested water
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|September 21, 1973
Abstract:
Ingestion in rats given limited daily access to water of 12 degrees , 24 degrees , and 37 degrees C is a positive function of water temperature, even though ingestion of warm water decreases blood osmotic concentration faster than cold water. The paradox suggests that temperature-dependent gastric factors and water-transport factors determine stomach distention cues of thirst satiation.
