Abstract
A syndrome of obesity, high basal serum immunoreactive insulin, blunted insulin response to glucose loading, decreased K-glucose, hyperbeta- and hyperprebeta-lipoproteinemia progressing, in some animals, to overt diabetes mellitus has been observed in monkeys. The syndrome develops spontaneously in “middle-age” animals, or earlier in animals with obesity resulting from hypothalamic lesions.Keywords
