Production of Polydipsia in Normal Rats by an Intermittent Food Schedule

John L. Falk 1

1 Department of Nutrition, Harvard University School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts

Marked polydipsia was produced in all animals trained to press a bar for food pellets on a 1-minute variableinterval schedule. It is suggested that since this feeding arrangement produces a sustained, high fluid intake in the normal, unrestrained animal, it might serve as a useful tool in the study of renal function.
