The impact of electrolytic lesions within and around the PVN [hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus] on food intake, water intake and daily body weight gain in rats was investigated. Small lesions essentially restricted to the PVN produce overeating and increased body weight in both female and male rats maintained on either lab chow pellets or high fat mash. This effect appears to be strongest with lesions which damage the caudal aspect of the PVN. Destruction of tissue dorsal, ventral or rostral to the PVN has no effect, or a suppressive effect, on food intake and body weight. With 1 exception, larger lesions, which extend beyond the borders of the nucleus, produce no greater response than lesions restricted to the fPVN. The exception is a very large lesion which simultaneously damages the PVN and the ventromedial hypothalamic region (in the vicinity of the ventromedial nucleus) and which is somewhat more effective than PVN lesions in causing hyperphagia and obesity.
