Summary In rats with experimental hypothalamic adiposity absolute O2 consumption increases, but declines if taken as the rate per 1 cm2 of the body surface. In the period of rising weight gain the respiratory quotient exceeds 1; the same is observed in a number of animals after subcutaneous glucose injection. This indicates that deposition of fat in hypothalamic adiposity is connected with augmented conversion of carbohydrates into fats; this process may occur in adipose rats even without hyperphagia. Cystein administration does not exert any specific dynamic action in marked hypothalamic adiposity.
