Effects of intrahypothalamic glucose injection on eating and drinking elicited by insulin.

Abstract

BILATERAL INJECTION OF ISOTONIC GLUCOSE (BUT NOT SALINE) INTO THE HYPOTHALAMIC FEEDING AREA OF RATS BLOCKS INSULIN-INDUCED EATING, BUT ALSO ELIMINATES THE DRINKING RESPONSE AND APPARENTLY INDUCES A DROWSINESS WHICH MAY ACCOUNT FOR THESE CONSEQUENCES.
