Abstract
⺠Female rats ovariectomized (OVX) as adults do not gain excess weight when given saccharin-sweetened foods. ⺠Females OVX as adolescents show excess weight gain when given saccharin. ⺠Females OVX as adults given saccharin show excess weight gain when local production of estrogen is suppressed. ⺠Local production of estrogens may affect energy regulation in female rats. ⺠Organizational changes in energy balance may occur during puberty in females.
