Early metabolic changes following destruction of the ventromedial hypothalamic nuclei. 1980

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

Studies were performed to determine whether increased gluconeogenesis precedes or is necessary for increased lipogenesis after ventromedial hypothalamic destruction. Weanling male rats were injected with 14C-bicarbonate or with 3H2O to assess gluconeogenesis or lipogenesis, respectively, at various short time intervals after placement of hypothalamic lesions. Lipogenesis increased within 2 hr of lesion placement whereas gluconeogenesis did not change for at least 4 hr. The results indicate that lipogenesis increases before gluconeogenesis and, therefore, that enhanced glucose production is not necessary for increased lipogenesis to occur in these rats.
