Two hyperinsulinemic rhesus monkeys, made obsese (body weight 22 kg) by the placement of hypothalamic lesions, were place on a weight reduction diet for a period of approximately eight months. After losing approximately losing approximately 25% body weight, the animals exhibited a fall in serum insulin levels without changes in plasma glucose levels or composition of fat pad tissue. There was evidence that the number of adipocytes remained constant but were reduced in size after the body weight loss.
两只患有高胰岛素血症的恒河猴，通过下丘脑损伤致胖（体重22千克），被给予减重饮食约八个月。在体重减轻约25%后，动物血清胰岛素水平下降，而血浆葡萄糖水平或脂肪垫组织成分未发生变化。有证据表明，脂肪细胞数量保持不变，但体重减轻后其大小减小。
