Effect of force-feeding upon basal insulin levels of rats

I L Bernstein et al. Proc Soc Exp Biol Med. 1975 Nov.

Abstract

Rats were over- or under-fed to achieve a wide range of body weights. The effect of this treatment on basal insulin levels, with and without pretreatment with atropine, was examined. Basal insulin was positively correlated with body weight and this relationship was essentially unchanged in the presence of atropine.
