1.
Testing the diet-breadth trade-off hypothesis: differential regulation of novel plant secondary compounds by a specialist and a generalist herbivore
Torregrossa A, Azzara A, Dearing M
Oecologia . 2011 Sep; 168(3):711-8. PMID: 21927911
Specialist herbivores are predicted to have evolved biotransformation pathways that can process large doses of secondary compounds from the plant species on which they specialize. It is hypothesized that this...

D1 but not D2 dopamine receptor antagonism blocks the acquisition of a flavor preference conditioned by intragastric carbohydrate infusions
Azzara A, Bodnar R, Delamater A, Sclafani A
Pharmacol Biochem Behav . 2001 Aug; 68(4):709-20. PMID: 11526968
The effects of dopamine D1 (SCH23390) and D2 (raclopride) receptor antagonists on the acquisition and expressions of flavor preferences conditioned by the postingestive actions of sucrose were investigated. Food-restricted rats...
3.
Parabrachial nucleus lesions block taste and attenuate flavor preference and aversion conditioning in rats
Sclafani A, Azzara A, Touzani K, Grigson P, Norgren R
Behav Neurosci . 2001 Aug; 115(4):920-33. PMID: 11508731
Rats with ibotenic acid lesions of the parabrachial nucleus (PBN) failed to learn a taste aversion induced by lithium chloride (LiCl) toxicosis. The same rats also did not learn to...

Naltrexone fails to block the acquisition or expression of a flavor preference conditioned by intragastric carbohydrate infusions
Azzara A, Bodnar R, Delamater A, Sclafani A
Pharmacol Biochem Behav . 2001 Feb; 67(3):545-57. PMID: 11164085
The effects of naltrexone on the expression and acquisition of flavor preferences conditioned by the postingestive actions of carbohydrates were investigated. Food-restricted rats (Experiment 1) were given one-bottle training with...
5.
Conditioned flavor avoidance, preference, and indifference produced by intragastric infusions of galactose, glucose, and fructose in rats
Sclafani A, Fanizza L, Azzara A
Physiol Behav . 1999 Sep; 67(2):227-34. PMID: 10477054
The postingestive reinforcing and satiating effects of intragastric (i.g.) infusions of 16% galactose, glucose, and fructose were compared in adult female rats. In Experiment 1, food-restricted rats were trained to...
6.
Flavor preferences conditioned by intragastric sugar infusions in rats: maltose is more reinforcing than sucrose
Azzara A, Sclafani A
Physiol Behav . 1998 Oct; 64(4):535-41. PMID: 9761229
Prior research indicates that glucose conditions much stronger flavor preferences in rats than does fructose. This could occur because intestinal absorption of fructose is much slower than that of glucose...
7.
Flavor preferences conditioned by intragastric polycose in rats: more concentrated polycose is not always more reinforcing
Lucas F, Azzara A, Sclafani A
Physiol Behav . 1997 Dec; 63(1):7-14. PMID: 9402608
Prior studies have obtained conditioned preferences for flavors paired with intragastric (IG) infusions of Polycose (hydrolyzed starch) at concentrations of 1-32% over a different flavor paired with IG water. The...
