(15) In sensory-specific satiety, the pleasantness of the sight or taste of a food becomes less after it is eaten to satiety, whereas the pleasantness of the sight or taste of other foods which have not been eaten is much less changed; correspondingly, food intake is greater if foods which have not already been eaten to satiety are offered.
(16) These tablets undergo expansion in the stomach and are expected to cause early satiety.

(19) Closing the gastric cannula increased the potency with which ip glucose inhibited eating, suggesting synergy of postabsorptive glucose with other postgastric satiety signals.
(20) The results are discussed in terms of a possible role for peripheral 5-HT in the control of satiety, and implications for the mode of action of serotonergic anorectic agents such as fenfluramine.
