Obesity, overeating, and rapid gastric emptying in rats with ventromedial hypothalamic lesions
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|February 7, 1986
Abstract:
Measurements confirm the quantitative theoretical prediction that the autonomic nonendocrine abnormality of rapid daytime gastric emptying is the major primary cause of the obesity resulting from ventromedial hypothalamic lesions in rats. Therapy for obesity could include slowing of stomach emptying.
