title: Fatty acid mobilization to 2-deoxyglucose is blocked by globus pallidus lesions.
abstract: Lesions of the lateral hypothalamus or discrete bilateral transections on the lateral border of the lateral hypothalamus disrupt the mobilization of metabolic fuels to intraperitoneal administration of the glucose analog 2-deoxyglucose. To better define the pathways involved in these responses, the effects of globus pallidus lesions on body fuel mobilization were investigated. Globus pallidus lesions blocked the increase in plasma free fatty acids normally caused by 2-deoxyglucose, but did not diminish the concomitant hyperglycemia. The data indicate that a pathway running through the globus pallidus, crossing the dorsoanterolateral hypothalamic border, and turning caudally in the dorsolateral hypothalamus is important in the immediate release of free fatty acids following 2-deoxyglucose administration.
