Diet preference: Survey of salt preference in drinking water for males of 28 inbred strains of mice
|
Taste preferences between two fluid sources were measured:
- NaCl solution vs. water, using concentrations of 75, 150, 300, and 450 mM
- KCl solution vs. water, using concentrations of 10, 30, 100, 200, and 300 mM
- CaCl2 solution vs. water, using concentrations of 3, 10, 30, and 100 mM
- NH4Cl solution vs. water, using concentrations of 10, 30, 100 and 300 mM
For each solution and concentration, intake was measured over a 48h period, and
preference ratios (solution vs. water) computed. These preference ratios (%) are
presented as MPD measurements.
