Disease relevance of Consummatory Behavior

• Viqualine, a serotonin releaser and uptake inhibitor, was studied for its effects on consummatory behaviors (intake of ethanol and nonalcoholic beverages, cigarette smoking, and changes in body weight) in 29 men who were early-stage problem drinkers between 21 to 55 years of age [1].
• Pyridoxine deficiency generally had greater effects on consummatory behavior and weight gain than vitamin A deficiency, but this effect was influenced by the rats' age and sex [2].

Psychiatry related information on Consummatory Behavior

• Unlike weanling rats, adult rats exhibited both conditioned appetitive behavior and conditioned consummatory behavior in response a CS that was previously paired with either oral hedonic or nutrient reinforcement [3].
• It is suggested that the strong excitatory drive brought about by the sharp wave-concurrent population bursts during consummatory behaviors, immobility, and slow wave sleep may be sufficient for the induction of long-term synaptic modification in the initiator neurons of the CA3 region and in their targets in CA1 [4].

High impact information on Consummatory Behavior

• Enalapril effects on alcohol intake and other consummatory behaviors in alcoholics [5].
• Fluoxetine differentially alters alcohol intake and other consummatory behaviors in problem drinkers [6].
• Also, data suggest that N/OFQ may not only promote feeding initiation, but rather its role may be to inhibit signaling responsible for inhibition of consummatory behavior [7].
• It is suggested that hungry pups are able to meet their increased nutritional demands both directly, by withdrawing a larger portion of the milk available in the mammary glands, and indirectly, by enhancing maternal PRL secretion which in turn may promote maternal consummatory behavior and milk production [8].
• Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) has been hypothesized to modulate consummatory behavior through the Type 2 CRF (CRF(2)) receptor [9].

Chemical compound and disease context of Consummatory Behavior

• Since serotonin uptake inhibitors can attenuate ethanol intake in humans, these drugs may have differential effects on consummatory behaviors [10].
• Also, there was an inverse relationship between nicotine and general consummatory behavior for females but not for males [11].
• In Experiment 2, rats showed clear SNC in consummatory behavior when shifted from 32 to 4% sucrose and also showed SNC in running speed when shifted from a 12- to 1-pellet reward in a straight runway [12].
• This study examined patterns of consummatory behavior in normal and vasopressin-deficient rats under ad lib and food-restricted conditions [13].
• The effect of lithium chloride-induced conditioned taste aversions on appetitive and consummatory behavior was determined [14].

Biological context of Consummatory Behavior

• Ethanol is a caloric compound, and ethanol drinking and food intake are both appetitive and consummatory behaviors [15].

Anatomical context of Consummatory Behavior

• This study expanded that study to examine in more depth the role of DA transmission in the nucleus accumbens in ethanol-seeking and consummatory behaviors [16].

Gene context of Consummatory Behavior

• We propose that NPY is involved in the central regulation of consummatory behavior in sheep [17].
• Neuropeptide Y: a potent inducer of consummatory behavior in rats [18].
• The present series of experiments was designed to characterize further the role of CB1 receptors in appetitive and consummatory behaviors related to sucrose and ethanol [19].
• These results suggest that CGRP in high doses may be centrally active in regulating consummatory behaviors [20].
• A number of recent studies implicate the gut-brain peptide ghrelin as a putative "hunger signal". Most of these studies, however, rely on either consummatory behavior (in humans or nonhuman animals) or self-report (in humans) to draw conclusions regarding the orexigenic properties of this peptide [21].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Consummatory Behavior

• Although such procedures primarily measure consummatory behavior, operant self-administration procedures allow analysis of consummatory as well as appetitive or "ethanol-seeking" behavior (i.e., lever pressing is required to gain access to the ethanol solution) [22].
