Genotype and diet effects in lean and obese Zucker rats fed either safflower or coconut oil diets.

Abstract excerpt

Previously we reported that suckling lean heterozygous (FA/fa) Zucker rats had a number of adipose tissue measurements intermediate between those of homozygous lean (FA/FA) and obese (fa/fa) rats. However, in young adult male rats maintained on a low-fat diet, these differences were no longer apparent (i.e., values for the two lean genotypes were similar). In the present study we determined whether the...
