Abstract
- The acute effects of thalamic or hypothalamic radiofrequency(RF) stimulation and coagulation on the balance of electrolytes have been surveyed in 32 adult dogs. Basal level of fasting blood sugar was higher after stimulation of posterior hypothalamus than anterior hypothalamus. Blood sugar level and serum sodium level were markedly elevated following hypothalamic stimulation whether the stimulation current was constant or increased in the course of the experiment. Thalamic stimulation or lesion resulted no significant change in fasting blood and serum sodium levels. However, Other electrolytes were not changed by stimulation or lesion of hypothalamic and thalamic areas. The observations suggest that the hypothalamo-hypophyseal system is contributing regulation of glucose and electrolytic metabolism.
