Abstract: | Three studies investigated the effects of ovariectomy on the intake of quinine solutions. Despite significant elevations of body weight due to surgery, no change in quinine preference was noted. Varying the age of surgery (prepuberty, postpuberty, and adulthood), age of testing, and time between these events did not alter the basic findings. |
