ABSTRACT
Food consumption patterns were studied during ad-libitum feeding of rats undernourished for 21 or 60 days after birth. Rats undernourished for 21 days consumed less food than the controls on a whole animal basis. But the food intake was higher during the early part of ad-libitum feeding when expressed on a unit body weight or metabolic body weight basis, and subsequently became comparable to that of the controls. Male rats undernourished for 60 days showed either comparable (for the whole animal) or higher (in other terms) food consumption, whereas the female rats undernourished for 60 days consumed more food at the beginning of ad-libitum feeding but less food during the latter part, when compared to their respective controls. The results thus indicate that no single mechanism can completely explain the food intake of undernourished rats during nutritional rehabilitation.
