Abstract

Female rats with bilateral parasagittal knife cuts between the ventromedial and lateral hypothalamus were fed a demonstrably unpalatable 0.4% quinine high-fat diet. These rats overate and maintained their body weights significantly above those of same-diet control animals. These results are similar to previous findings in this laboratory obtained from rats with ventromedial hypothalamic lesions.
