Abstract
The effects of adrenalectomy on the obese mouse were compared using animals which were weight-matched by controlled food intake. Adrenalectomy reduced weight gain of obese (ob/ob) mice. The reduced insulin and glucose after adrenalectomy were largely the result of reduced food intake. Changes in thyroid function were related to the changes in food intake and to adrenalectomy itself.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
