| Popis: | The consumption of food, water and ethanol solutions, in free choice condition, was studied in 9 rats with electrolitic lesion of ventromedial hypothalamus, before and after the operation and compared with 2 controls submitted to sham operation. Changes in body weight were studied between 20 and 30 days after the operation. In all the experimental rats there was an increase in food, water consumption and body weight while ethanol intake decreased significantly. |
