Abstract
Electrolytic lesions in ventromedial hypothalamus were induced in the rhesus monkey to produce a model for experimental study of obesity and diabetes mellitus. The animal was observed for 14 1/2 years. The preparation demonstrates the feasibility of long-term studies of diabetes using the nonhuman primate as a model.Keywords
