Abstract excerpt
The study of genetic variance in opioid receptor antagonism of sucrose and other forms of sweet intake has been limited to reductions in sweet intake in mice that are opioid receptor-deficient or lacking either pre-pro-enkephalin or beta-endorphin. Marked genetic variance in inbred mouse strains has been observed for sucrose intake across a wide array of concentrations in terms of sensitivity, magnitude,...
