A physiological control theory of food intake in the rat: Mark 1

journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-08, 22:16 authored by D A Booth, F M Toates
The theory that current supply of readily used energy is the primary control in feeding is embodied in a computer model of energy flows from the gut and to or from storage as fat. Values for all parameters are derived from physiological data. Meal patterns and cumulative food intakes are realistically predicted for normal and VMH- lesioned rats.

Notes

This paper is in a series on quantitative data-based simulations of the learnt physiological and societal influences on eating patterns, starting with Booth & Toates 1974, two comments in Nature arising from this paper (1974, 1978), for chapters by Booth (1978, 1980, 1981; one co-authored by Mather, 1978) and a journal-published review lecture including dietary restraint (1988).
