| Abstract: | Artificial heating of rat liver decreases food intake, while it significantly increases the purposeless chewing during the experiment. The hypothesis is suggested that hepatic thermoreceptors are stimulated by a physiologic increase in liver temperature, which afferent to feeding integrative centers. Liver thermoreceptors rather than chemoreceptors are perhaps regulators of food intake. |
