TL;DR: There were significant increases in saliva and plasma insulin in response to the presentation of food, the increases in salivation correlating positively with indices of body weight (W/H2) and scores on the Herman and Polivy Scale of restrained versus unrestrained eating, but not with increases in insulin secretion.

TL;DR: The results are discussed in connection with previous studies of ventral and dorsal noradrenergic bundle lesions, with the effects of ventromedial hypothalamic lesions and with the underlying behavioural and physiological processes that mediate these contrasting effects of different neuroanatomical patterns of central Noradrenaline depletion.
