Abstract
Research indicating an elevated salivary response to palatable food by dieters (as compared to nondieters of equal weight) is discussed, particularly as it conforms to obese/normal salivation differences, with implications for weight regulation processes. Consideration of dieters demands special attention to self-inhibitory influences affecting, and sometimes masking or reversing, the normal relation between salivation and eating.

The amount of salivation varied significantly and meaningfully with manipulated deprivation and palatability, and was correlated with subjects' ratings of hunger and appeal of the food stimuli, indicating that the measure reflects appetite by several criteria.

In the first study, dieters salivated more than did nondieters, although there were no differences in baseline salivation level, acute deprivation, or rated palatability of the food stimulus.

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.

Salivation has only recently been used to study human eating behavior, even though Pavlov's original interest in it was in connection with studies of digestion.

Food stimuli were rated as more appetizing by the nonobese after high-calorie meals, but not so by the obese, and parallels with animal findings suggest that salivary responses reflect lateral hypothalamic activity.
AppetiteEffects of Low-calorie Dieting and Exposure to Diet-prohibited Food on Appetite and Anxiety

Salivation in obese dieters, who were exposed to diet-prohibited food stimuli and expected not to eat, decreased during 827-kcal diet compared with a weight-maintaining baseline diet.
AppetiteConditioned Salivation in Obese Subjects with Different Weight Kinetics
16 Citations1981B Guy-Grand, Hélène Goga
The salivaty response to food is increased in obese subjects gaining weight and normal in static obesity (as if they normally regulated their weight at a higher level), lending support to the “ponderostatic theory” of obesity.
