Glucocorticoid-dependency of increased adiposity in a model of hypothalamic obesity.
UNLABELLED: It is known that rats treated, at neonatal age, with monosodium L-glutamate (MSG) develop neuroendocrine and metabolic abnormalities, resulting in a phenotype of hypothalamic obesity, characterized by increased adiposity, corticosteronemia and leptinemia.
OBJECTIVE: We explored whether adrenal manipul.....
