Abstract
Rat food intake over a long period is subordinate to the maintenance of energy balance. The ventromedial nucleus (VMH) restrains surplus fat accumulation. Non-VMH mechanisms control the lower limit of body weight. In addition to the lipostatic mechanism in VMH, a thermostatic mechanism in the anterior hypothalamus affects energy balance. Effects of growth, obesity, and litter size on food intake and weight are considered. Hypothalamic control of blood glucose levels and insulin are also considered.(28 ref.)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
