Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Intravenously administered Triton WR-1339, a nonionic surface active agent, has been used as an endogenous hyperlipemic agent since 1951. We expected Triton to increase food consumption to supply, at least partially, the energy and acetyl groups necessary for producing the hyperlipemic state. In this study, however, we observed that the rats injected intravenously with various dose levels of Triton decreased their voluntary food intake in a dose-related manner. Two other nonionic surface active agents, Tween 20 and Tween 80, given intravenously did not alter food intake. Further studies revealed that Triton WR-1339 administered intravenously 30 min before feeding by stomach tube resulted in a marked delay in the rate of gastric emptying which was also dose related. A delay in gastric emptying has previously been suggested as one mechanism that controls food intake. Tween 20 and Tween 80 did not alter the rate of gastric emptying. We suggest that the mechanism responsible for the decrease in voluntary food consumption in Triton WR-1339 injected rats may be due to the delay of gastric emptying in these animals.
