The induction of obesity in the rat with bipiperidyl mustard

Br J Nutr. 1980 Nov;44(3):253-5. doi: 10.1079/bjn19800038.

Abstract

1. Bipiperidyl mustard produced increased adiposity in the rat without excessive weight gain or hyperphagia. 2. The results suggest a metabolic aetiology for the obesity as opposed to a disorder of food intake regulation.
