In brief-exposure, two-choice preference tests (sucrose solution v water), vitamin A-deficient (VAD) rats exhibited a decreased preference for sucrose relative to control rats. There was no difference in total fluid intake from both choices between the two groups, nor was any significant difference found in circumvallate taste papilla keratin size. It is concluded that the impaired preference for sucrose in VAD rats is due to a specific impairment in taste sensation rather than general malaise.
