Electrolytic bilateral lesions of the dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus of both female and male mature rats resulted in hypophagia, hypodipsia and decreased spontaneous running activity. The latter is not associated with increased fat deposition. Resting oxygen consumption was reduced in both sexes, but significantly only in the males. Thyroid weight was normal in both sexes but ovaries and adrenals were lighter in the females and the pituitary was lighter in the male rats with lesions. The data show that the dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus is involved in hypothalamic mechanisms controlling food intake, water intake and spontaneous activity not only in the weanling rat as previously demonstrated, but in the mature rat as well.
