摘要
Bilateral subdiaphragmatic vagotomy did not prevent ovariectomy-induced obesity. Daily treatment with estradiol benzoate (2 μg/rat) reduced body weight in vagotomized rats to the same degree as in rats with intact vagi. Thus, neither ovariectomy-induced obesity nor the weight-suppressant action of estradiol depends on the vagus nerve. © 1979.
