Objective: The aims of this study were to investigate some features of the metabolic profile
and the body composition of male Lou/C rats and to examine whether these characteristics …

The high-fat, high-sucrose diet (HFSD)-fed C57Bl/6 mouse is a widely used model of
prediabetes. However, studies typically implement a relatively short dietary intervention …

Objective This study was performed to determine the effect of fasting on reproducibility of the
glucose tolerance test. Due to individual variation in animal feeding behaviors, fasting …

Expression of obesity-induced diabetes associated with the diabetes or db mutation in mice
varies in inbred strains. This study utilized a genetic analysis to evaluate the number of …

The rate of oxygen consumption was measured in 2-day Zucker preobese (fa/fa),
homozygous (Fa/Fa) lean, and lean rats of unknown genotype (Fa/?) over the ambient …

High phenotypic variation in diet-induced obesity in male C57BL/6J inbred mice suggests a
molecular model to investigate non-genetic mechanisms of obesity. Feeding mice a high-fat …

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the suitability of A/J and C57BL/6J mice of
both sexes as models of some components of the human metabolic syndrome (MetS) under …

Rodent models in which monogenic alterations cause obesity in the absence of
environmental changes have confirmed earlier inferences regarding the biologic/genetic …

C57BL/6J (B6) and AKR/J (AKR) inbred strains of mice develop a comparable degree of
obesity when fed a high-fat diet. However, although obese B6 mice are more glucose …

While most rats gain weight when placed on a high-fat diet (HFD), some strains resist HFD-
induced weight gain. To maintain weight, obesity-resistant (OR) rats must either eat less …
