We have previously shown that the C57BL/6J (B6) mouse will develop obesity and diabetes
if raised on a high-fat diet. Because high fat feeding is associated with hyperphagia, the …

We have previously shown that C57BL/6J (B6) mice develop severe obesity and diabetes if
weaned onto high-fat diets, whereas A/J mice tend to be obesity and diabetes-resistant. The …

We have previously demonstrated that the C57BL/6J (B 6J) mouse will develop severe
obesity, hyperglycemia, and hyperinsulinemia if weaned onto a high-fat, high-sucrose (HH) …

The prevalence of obesity is increasing. Although the etiology of obesity is complex, dietary
factors, particularly the consumption of a high-fat (HF) diet, is considered a risk factor for its …

Previous research in our laboratory has demonstrated that the C57BL/6J (B/6J) mouse has a
predisposition to develop severe obesity if placed on a high-fat diet. In the present study we …

Purified carbohydrates and fats are usually palatable to humans and other animals, and
their consumption often induces weight gain and accumulation of fat. In this study, we …

Estimates of food intake and body weight gain were obtained in obese (ob/ob) mice from 7
to 56 days of age. Milk intake was estimated daily from 7 to 21 days of age; there were no …

Investigated the role of hyperphagia in the obesity of the diabetic mouse, C57BL/6J/db/db.
Ingestion patterns and the amount of food for 25 diabetic mice were controlled by yoking …

We investigated the effects of diet-induced obesity on glucose metabolism in two strains of
mice, C57BL/6J and A/J. Twenty animals from each strain received ad libitum exposure to a …

Objective: Childhood obesity is an emerging health problem. This study assesses the effects
of three levels of dietary fat (10%, 32%, and 45% measured by kilocalories) on weight gain …
