Abstract:
:Two series of experiments were designed to investigate the effects of protein composition of the first solid food consumed by young rat pups on their subsequent protein intake after weaning. In the first series of experiments, pups were allowed access to the maternal diet between 17 and 21 days of age, then weaned to a choice of 10% and 60% casein diets at 21 days. Pups with access to a maternal diet containing 39% casein selected high levels of protein (calculated as % of total calories selected as protein: 50 +/- 1% (access) vs. 29 +/- 3.5% (no access), p less than 0.05), whereas lower levels of protein were selected following access to a maternal diet containing 26% casein (16 +/- 1.1% (access) vs. 23 +/- 1% (no access), p less than 0.05) or 10% casein (27 +/- 3.9% (access) vs. 39 +/- 3.7% (no access), p less than 0.05). In a second series of experiments, the influence of early diet composition on subsequent protein selection was confirmed by prematurely weaning rats at 17 days of age to either 39% or a 10% casein diet. When given a choice of 10% and 60% casein diets at 21 days, pups selected higher levels of protein if weaned to a 39% casein diet as compared to a 10% casein diet (37 +/- 5.0% vs. 19 +/- 3.5% (p less than 0.05) for the first experiment and 43 +/- 3.0% vs. 26 +/- 4.0% (p less than 0.05) in a second experiment). It was concluded that the level of protein selected by young rats is positively correlated with the protein concentration of their first solid food.
