AB  - The effects of estrogenic stimulation on diet selection were examined in intact, 
      estrous cycling rats, ovariectomized (OVX) rats, and OVX rats given estradiol 
      benzoate (EB) hormone replacement therapy. In Experiment 1, OVX was associated 
      with the nearly exclusive choice of the more calorically dense diet of a pair of 
      diets varying in the concentration of one of the three basic macronutrients 
      (i.e., fat, carbohydrate, and protein), an effect that was decreased by EB 
      administration. In the second experiment, dietary self-selection was examined in 
      intact, estrous cycling rats given access to an isocaloric diet triplet of fat, 
      carbohydrate (CHO), and protein. Total caloric intake and body weight did not 
      vary across the estrous cycle. However, diet selection did vary. Fat intake 
      increased; CHO and, to a lesser extent, protein intake decreased during estrus. 
      An opposite diet selection occurred during diestrus. In Experiment 3, OVX 
      resulted in progressive increases in CHO and protein intake, with a concurrent 
      decrease in fat consumption. The EB treatment partially reversed this diet 
      selection profile (Experiment 4). These results were confirmed by diet pairs with 
      both naturally occurring and experimentally produced estrogenic stimulation 
      (Experiments 5 and 6). These data are consistent with the findings of previous 
      research demonstrating estrogenic reduction in CHO intake with standard high-CHO 
      commercial diets. In addition, an increase in fat intake during estrogenic 
      stimulation was found.
