Body fat and body weight reduction following hypothalamic deep brain stimulation in monkeys: an intraventricular approach.
- Authors
Torres, N; Chabardes, S; Piallat, B; Devergnas, A; Benabid, A L
- Abstract
The authors proposed an intraventricular 'floating' electrode inserted in the third ventricle (V3) adjacent to the ventromedian hypothalamus (VMH) in a freely moving Macaca fascicularis to modulate food intake (FI), body fat (BF), body weight (BW) and body mass index (BMI), as a potential treatment of obesity.
