  1. Sugar can be addictive, Princeton scientist says

    Similar changes also are seen in the brains of rats on cocaine and heroin. In experiments, the researchers have been able to induce signs of withdrawal in the lab animals by taking away their sugar supply. The rats' brain levels of dopamine dropped and, as a result, they exhibited anxiety as a sign of withdrawal.

  2. A Behavioral and Circuit Model Based on Sugar Addiction in Rats

    The comparison of sugar addiction with drug addiction has been reviewed in detail. 20,11 In just a few weeks on the intermittent, 12-hour sugar-chow feeding schedule, rats will show signs of opiate-like "withdrawal" in response to naloxone (3 mg/kg s.c.), which proves opioid involvement and suggests opioid "dependency." 21 Withdrawal is ...

  3. The Rats Who Preferred Sugar Over Cocaine

    Hoebel's rats even went into withdrawal symptoms within a half hour of being administered the opiate blocker naloxone. Their "teeth started chattering," Dr. Hoebel told me. "They waved their heads back and forth. Their forepaws quivered. They acted anxious in a maze test. These are all signs of sugar withdrawal.

  4. Evidence for sugar addiction: Behavioral and neurochemical effects of

    In this experiment, rats were given an initial 5-min forced-swim test in which escape (swimming and climbing) and passive (floating) behaviors were measured. ... Following 12-h daily access to sugar, rats lever press for 23% more sugar in a test after 2 wks of abstinence than they ever did before (Fig. 4; ...

  5. Sugar now or cocaine later?

    When there was a 30-s programmed delay, rats showed no preference, choosing cocaine on average 50% of the time. When the programmed delay was increased to 60 s, the rats preferred cocaine, selecting it ~65% of the time. These findings suggest that, in choice studies, rats normally choose the alternative reward over cocaine likely because the ...

  6. Sweeter Than Cocaine

    Rats prefer a sugary drink to drugs. If the alarmingstatistics surrounding the so-called obesity epidemic have not convinced you of the dangers of a sugar-packed diet, a new study might have you ...

  7. PDF Sugar now or cocaine later?

    With a 30-s delay, rats increased their cocaine choice, opting for the drug on average 50% of the time. Finally, with a 60-s delay, rats shifted their preference from sweet water to cocaine ...

  8. Sugar now or cocaine later?

    In contrast, food rewards (pellets, sucrose, or saccharin) evoke an almost immediate dopaminergic effect (~0.25 s for 10% of peak effect, ~1 s for 50% of peak effect, and ~2 s for peak effect ...

  9. Sugar consumption and behavioural inhibition in the rat

    Like Experiment 1, Sugar and Control rats were ranked on their performance (this time for their post-diet scores) and split into top- and bottom-half cohorts. 3.2. Results3.2.1. Weights and sugar intake. During the 4-week diet phase the Sugar group consumed a mean of 111.9 mL (SD = 5.8 mL) each day.

  10. For rats, sweets are the drug of choice

    In the experiment, 43 rats were placed in cages with two levers, one of which delivered an intravenous dose of cocaine and the other a sip of highly sweetened water. ... When sugar water was ...

  11. Sugar on the brain: Study shows sugar dependence in rats

    Hoebel and colleagues studied rats that were induced to binge on sugar and found that they exhibited telltale signs of withdrawal, including "the shakes" and changes in brain chemistry, when the effects of the sweets were blocked. These signs are similar to those produced by drug withdrawal. Sugar, said Hoebel, triggers production of the brain ...

  12. Rats show the perils of sugar addiction, researchers say

  15. A high-sugar diet decreases sweetness in rats

    Study: High-sucrose diet exposure is associated with selective and reversible alterations in the rat peripheral taste system For many people, a high-sugar diet has become almost accidental. Three quarters of food in the supermarket has added sugar, according to University of Michigan researcher Monica Dus, leading the scientist to wonder whether our sense of taste can become dulled to sweetness.

  16. Intense Sweetness Surpasses Cocaine Reward

    In this experiment, rats had continuous access to lever C alone during 3 h per day. ... 12% of water, 5% of minerals, 3% of fat and 4% of cellulose. No synthetic or refined sugar was added. All experiments were carried out in accordance with institutional and international standards of care and use of laboratory animals [UK Animals (Scientific ...

  17. Evidence for sugar addiction: Behavioral and neurochemical effects of

    Rats are given 12-h access to an aqueous 10% sucrose solution (25% glucose in some experiments) and lab chow, followed by 12 h of deprivation daily for three or more weeks (i.e., Daily Intermittent Sugar and Chow). These rats are compared with control groups such as Ad libitum Sugar and Chow, Ad libitum Chow, or Daily Intermittent Chow (12-h ...

  18. What Does "Rat Park" Teach Us About Addiction?

    That a person, or animal in his studies, is an active ingredient in their interaction with a drug. To stand a chance beating the opioid and other drug epidemics we have, we will be far better equipped if we follow his lead. Alexander's experiments, in the 1970s, have come to be called the "Rat Park. 1 Researchers had already proved that ...
