Lesions were produced in the hypothalami of rats which were members of pairs joined in parabiosis, the union being accomplished by a single suture of 4 cut edges of muscle and peritoneum. The animals with hypothalamic lesions displayed marked hyper-phagia and obesity. The parabiotic partners with normal hypothalami became thin. Subsequent lesions produced in the hypothalami of 2 of the partners when thin caused hyperphagia. It is suggested that the partners with normal hypothalami became thin because they ate less; and that this in turn was due to a response on the part of their hypothalamic controlling centers to the operated animals'' overfeeding. Three theories were cited which might explain this hypothalamic response: amount of stored fat in the body, difference in the arterial and venous blood levels of glucose, and a rise in temperature to a certain level caused by eating. The data in this instance tend to point toward the "stored fat" theory and some diffusible associated metabolite.
