title: [Cephalic phase of insulin secretion and the variety of the food in rat feed].
abstract: Immunologically reactive insulin levels were determined in freely-moving normal rats offered three different test-meals. In test I, they were offered their normal diet for 4.5 min. In test II, they first ate the same diet for the same amount of time, then a cookie for 6 min, and finally they had free access to lard. In test III, the normal diet was followed by a synthetic sweetener and then by vaseline. It was shown that in a varied meal (tests II and III), the ingestion of each new food was immediately followed by a peak of insulin secretion superimposed on normal postprandial hyperinsulinemia. This resulted in an overall increase in insulinemia over the 15-min period measured. It is well known that in a varied meal more food is consumed. Thus, it may be that when a varied meal is offered, final satiety is postponed. This could be due to sensorially-triggered peaks of insulin secretion which would explain why the "cafeteria diet" induces hyperphagia and obesity.
