Sucrose preference test with a high-fat diet

From 2021 to 2025, 40 animal research papers mentioned a high-fat diet and the sucrose preference test in their title or abstract.

That is 3.3 times the 12 papers of 2011 to 2015. Between the same two periods, the papers that mention a high-fat diet and any of the 90 tests we count grew more slowly, to 2.7 times as many.

5% of the 868 papers from 2021 to 2025 that mention a high-fat diet and a test mention the sucrose preference test
3% of the 1,522 papers from 2021 to 2025 that mention the sucrose preference test also mention a high-fat diet
3.3 times as many papers as in 2011 to 2015

Which papers count

A paper counts here when it is animal research and its title or abstract mentions a high-fat diet and the sucrose preference test.

A paper that mentions either only in its methods is missed, so the count runs low. The search terms are in the list of models and techniques and the test list. The full method, with each source and its terms of use, is on our main page, Behavioral tests in published research.

More pairings

Every pairing of an animal model and a test with 30 or more papers from 2021 to 2025 has a page like this one.

The page on the sucrose preference test counts all the papers that mention it, whatever they study. The page on a high-fat diet ranks the tests mentioned with it.
