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

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
