Abstract
In weanling male rats, destruction of the ventromedial hypothalamus causes increased carcass lipid deposition and decreased linear growth without changes in food intake or blood glucose levels. These changes are not dependent on altered pituitary function. Lipogenesis and glucose utilization are increased in vivo and in vitro, while gluconeogenesis is accelerated in vivo. The enhanced lipogenesis occurs before increased gluconeogenesis.
