Abstract
OROPHARYNGEAL, stimuli evoked during tasting, chewing and swallowing of food have been shown to influence the rate and degree of ingestion1,2. The “satiety mechanism” seems, however, to be operative only if ingesta enter the stomach. It has been reported that animals which have been depleted of sodium or water consume sufficient quantities to compensate for deficits. The observation of animals satiating their appetite in a few minutes, or by a single ingestive act, before absorption from the intestine is likely has led several investigators to postulate some sort of oropharyngeal metering3,4.
