Abstract
Diabesity has reached an epidemic proportion in India as well as worldwide. The use of non-nutritive sweeteners (NNSs) has been proposed to combat this menace. NNSs are calorie less healthy sugar substitutes while researchers suggest a contrary report of NNSs. Ingestive behavior plays an important role in diabesity development as it may provide excess calories. However, ingestive behavior is a complex process with a lack of experimental animal studies. Therefore, we studied ingestive patterns in the control, sucrose or saccharin (NNSs) fed rats along with a change in their body weight and blood sugar levels. The analysis allowed a comparison of ingestive behavior such as number of ingestive bouts, bouts licking rate, bouts duration as well as water and food intake patterns. Results show that control and sucrose-fed rats ingested 5 g food in the 2 h, and 4 h, respectively while saccharin fed rats have become “nibblers” during this period. Rats ingested sucrose in 6-bouts while saccharin in 4-bouts during the experiment. The study showed a temporal variation in sucrose versus saccharin induced ingestive behavior. The findings suggest that NNS's interferes with ingestive behavior which normally contributes to energy homeostasis and may induce metabolic derangements.
