Abstract:
:Rats were reared in social isolation or in social groups of 4 or 5 rats per cage from weaning and were fed either a lab chow diet or a diet of 4 palatable foods (cafeteria diet), in addition to the lab chow. The hyperactivity of isolation-reared rats appears to be a reactivity to novel environmental stimuli, since it was seen only in the 0.5 hr tests and not in the near 24 hr test. It was found that hyperactivity and increased body weight can develop within as few as 7 to 10 days in rats reared in isolation from weaning. Cafeteria feeding enhanced activity in isolation-reared rats, but suppressed it in group-reared rats. Isolation-reared rats fed a cafeteria diet had strong, stable preferences for their most preferred food over the 25 days of measurement. Rats reared in isolation had significantly different food preferences, as compared with rats reared in groups. Cafeteria fed rats had a significantly greater calorie intake and body weight than rats fed lab chow. On analysis, cafeteria fed rats had significantly greater carcass energy and an increased amount of parametrial white adipose tissue as compared with rats fed only lab chow. The interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) weights of cafeteria fed rats were also greater. However, as there was no difference between the cafeteria and chow fed rats in the total amount of protein in the IBAT, it was concluded that the increased weight of the IBAT did not reflect a genuine hypertrophy of the tissue.
