Neurophysiological taste responses and behavioral measures where controls and E3–E12 diet mice were similar. (A–F) CT responses to a concentration series of quinine hydrochloride in controls (A) and E3–E12 (B) mice, to a concentration series of citric acid in controls (C) and E3–E12 (D) mice, and to a concentration series sucrose in controls (E) and E3–E12 (F) mice. (G) Two-bottle preferences to a concentration series of sucrose in controls and E3–E12 mice. (H and I) Short-term access number of licks to a concentration series of (H) quinine hydrochloride and (I) sucrose in controls and E3–E12 diet mice. (J) Brief-access taste test in adult control (n = 9) and E3–E12 diet mice (n = 12) to a concentration series of NaCl after acute sodium depletion. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. For all dietary-group comparisons, statistical comparisons were multiple, unpaired t tests using the Holm–Sidak method for multiple comparisons. No significant differences (P > 0.05) were found for any measures.
