Feeding and blood glucose responses to local injection of nanoliter volumes of 5-thio-D-glucose (5TG), a potent antimetabolic glucose analogue, were studied at 142 hindbrain and 61 hypothalamic cannula sites. A site was considered positive if 5TG elicited at least 1.5

In previous studies it was shown that deletion of the HXK2 gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae yields a strain that hardly produces ethanol and grows almost exclusively oxidatively in the presence of abundant glucose. This paper reports on physiological studies on

5-thio-D-glucose at 40 mg/kg body weight was administered daily by intraperitoneal injections to male C3H mice. The animals were studied via direct counts of the spermatogenic cells in histologic sections of the testes. These revealed the selective loss or injury

Although several studies implicate small declines in blood glucose levels as stimulus for spontaneous meal initiation, no mechanism is known for how these dips might initiate feeding. To assess the role of ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) (arcuate plus ventromedial nucleus) glucosensing
