Summary

Food palatability and hedonic value play central roles in nutrient intake. However, postingestive effects can influence food preferences independently of palatability, although the neurobiological bases of such mechanisms remain poorly understood. Of central interest is whether the same brain reward circuitry that is responsive to palatable rewards also encodes metabolic value independently of taste signaling. Here we show that trpm5−/− mice, which lack the cellular machinery required for sweet taste transduction, can develop a robust preference for sucrose solutions based solely on caloric content. Sucrose intake induced dopamine release in the ventral striatum of these sweet-blind mice, a pattern usually associated with receipt of palatable rewards. Furthermore, single neurons in this same ventral striatal region showed increased sensitivity to caloric intake even in the absence of gustatory inputs. Our findings suggest that calorie-rich nutrients can directly influence brain reward circuits that control food intake independently of palatability or functional taste transduction.

"...American Tabby, ...Rot-lab, ... rat is a rat."

The rat appears to be a Sprague-Dawley albino rat, a.k.a. the classic lab rat.

I'm with you Smibbo. Technically, we are all colored people, except for albinos (uncolored?). The use of this word colored was not an overt attempt to attack African-Americans, but rather just a subtle internalized prejudice. I'm not getting bogged down, I was just using this as an example of how everyone is subject to internalized, systemic, cultural blah blah blah racism. I'm sure there are better examples. This is obviously a tough thing for people to accept.

In reply to this comment by smibbo:
...and technically speaking, "black people" has just as much implication of "color"
being a dark skin hue means you have more melanin. that means you are, in fact, colored. That's just fact and saying so has no racist implication on its face. The reason "colored" to describe black people is a negative phrase is because of it's history of use. American Natives called themselves "red man" for a long time before we came over in boats and starting decimating them. there was a time in history when saying "colored" was preferable. Then it was "negro" then it was "person of color" - do not get too bogged down in hair-splitting over old terms. call people what they want to be called and worry more about actions. I don't use the term "african american" unless I know for a fact that the person's heritage hails from an African country. I learned this from having several friends whose heritage was from the carribean and east indies. "black" is still acceptable because its descriptive, no more no less. if they had chosen "colored" we would be using it and denigrating the term "black" *shrug*

Heh, albino snark.

LOOK AT THAT ARM!!! GET SOME SUN MR ALBINO!

*bravo then bravo...
I'm jess glad Scorslizzy finally got his, albino penguin guinea stature for what he's real good at...still, for crappy champagne and cg.....

QM, "conservatives" are guilty of everything you just threw at "liberals" and neither group really exists except in your woefully polarised mind.

>>>>Why do you think liberals running for office always hide their radical agenda? In broad daylight it'll burn up like an albino in a tanning bed.

errr... how about that george bush campaigning as a noninterventionist before engaging in illegal war?

>>>>liberals don't listen to facts, don't use facts and don't respond to facts. With the left you either believe what they believe or you are labeled a killer of children and rapist of Mother Earth.

Whereas "conservatives" only ever deal in facts, such as WMD and Bin Laden's computer controlled air conditioned mountain bunkers and Saddam's ability to launch nukes in 45minutes, and anyone who questions these "facts" is welcomed by "conservatives" as a healthy part of a necessary debate?

I expect now I have attacked "conservatives" you think i must be a "liberal" and i expect because i live in europe i must be a "socialist" and i expect because i am male i must like sports. DAymn man, your simplicity fascinates me.

I guess Ron Paul confuses the hell out of you, being pro legalisation of drugs and anti war AND a republican candidate... like WHOAH how the fuck is THAT possible in your tiny artificial toy version of the world which you keep in your blackandwhite brain?

Qruel,

I have noticed you're fairly civil in your replies, but you're in the minority there. I, too, try to keep it civil as well, but sometimes it ain't possible and I have to Tase some of these bros.

Since hillary isn't on VS, her feelings won't be hurt. Most of her supporters already know she's a socialist, since they are too.

The flaw in your plea for well thought-out, researched opinions is that liberals don't listen to facts, don't use facts and don't respond to facts. With the left you either believe what they believe or you are labeled a killer of children and rapist of Mother Earth.

Why do you think liberals running for office always hide their radical agenda? In broad daylight it'll burn up like an albino in a tanning bed.

I'm not just picking on libs, almost everyone here is spoiling for a fight. VS is Jerry Springer with keyboards and the subtly condescending need me to establish a baseline for their lunacy.

It's a glorious feeling to be doomed yet need others for warmth.

-------------------

P.S. to Fletch. "Drive-by media" remains a fresh, truthful term. Liberal media (which doesn't exist, according to he liberal media) shoot into a crowd with biased half-truths and haul ass, reveling in the chaos. FOX deserves its high ratings after 40 years of liberal bias from the once-Big 3 networks.

I've not forgotten your replies on other posts either, Harlequin. Have a math day.

woah. thanks for the awesome list !

Of course I know that! But I wasn't lying - I really did see an albino Jew. I wouldn't be surprised if he's the only one in the world. I mean, you can't pack much more minority into a guy than that.

That had (almost) nothing to do with anything but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

Albino Black Sheep didn't do shit as it's just a stolen content host like eBaum's World.

Yatta aka Irrational Exuberance was done by 'Veloso'.
