Abstract
Hypothalamic hyperphagic animals were found to have significantly higher temperatures than either operated non-hyperphagic or non-operated control animals. This phenomenon was shown to be due neither to the state of nutrition of the animals, nor to obesity per se, nor to a breakdown of the mechanisms regulating body temp. The meaning of these results is discussed in the light of 2 modern concepts (glucostatic and thermostatic) of mechanisms of regulation of food intake.
