The effect of 7 wk consumption of a diet containing 32.6% of kilocalories as fat [condensed
milk (CM) diet] on body composition and energy intake was evaluated in nine strains of …

High fat feeding in rodents generally leads to obesity and insulin resistance whereas in
humans this is only seen if dietary carbohydrate is also high, the result of the anabolic effect …

The importance of reduced thermoregulatory thermogenesis as a mechanism for the high
metabolic efficiency of the diabetic-obese (db/db) mouse has been investigated. Young …

Obesity-prone (OP) rodents are used as models of human obesity predisposition. The goal
of the present study was to identify preexisting defects in energy expenditure components in …

Poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are considered to be healthier than saturated fatty
acids (SFAs), but others postulate that especially the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 PUFAs …

The development of obesity, hyperglycemia, and hyperinsulinemia was examined in obese-
hyperglycemic (ob/ob) mice, their lean littermates, and homozygous lean mice (+/+) between …

Diet-induced obesity is the primary determinant of the current epidemic of diabetes. We have
explored the role of genetics in this phenomenon, using C57Bl/6 (B6), 129S6/SvEvTac …

A search was made for predisposing factors and sequelae of diet-induced obesity (DIO) or
resistance to DIO (DR). During 3 mo on a high-energy (CM) diet, two-thirds of the male …

The selectively bred diet‐induced obese (DIO) and diet‐resistant (DR) rats represent a
polygenetic animal model mimicking most clinical variables characterizing the human …

Abstract Obese mice (C57BL 6J ob ob) and their lean controls were studied longitudinally
from immediately post-weaning until 62 wk of age, at which time the experiment was …
