Abstract

Chronic stimulation of rats after a mock operation and rats with deafferented hypothalami leads to a decrease in the total cholesterol concentration in the blood and to the accumulation of triglycerides in the liver. Injection of dexamethasone into rats is accompanied by an increase in the blood cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations and accumulation of triglycerides in the liver. The action of dexamethasone is stronger in animals with a deafferented hypothalamus. The rate of secretion of 11-hydroxycorticosteroids into the adrenal vein was reduced in the latter.
