Effects of ventromedial hypothalamic lesions on adipose tissue of weanling male rats. 1981

J K Goldman, and L L Bernardis, and R G MacKenzie, and M Kodis, and R Luboshitzky

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.

D000273 Adipose Tissue Specialized connective tissue composed of fat cells (ADIPOCYTES). It is the site of stored FATS, usually in the form of TRIGLYCERIDES. In mammals, there are two types of adipose tissue, the WHITE FAT and the BROWN FAT. Their relative distributions vary in different species with most adipose tissue being white.
