Plasma metabolites after 2-deoxy-D-glucose in rats with brain dopamine-depleting lesions
Physiology & Behavior
|January 1, 1984
Abstract:
Rats with selective brain dopamine-depleting lesions produced by 6-hydroxydopamine failed to increase their food intake after 2-deoxy-D-glucose administration. Their hyperglycemic response to 2DG was identical to that of intact controls. Neither group showed significant mobilization of free fatty acids or production of ketones.
