Abstract excerpt
1. Inbreeding and optimization of environmental conditions for laboratory rats may have led to the survival of mutants with metabolic aberrations but without evident disease phenotype. Therefore, in the present study, we compared metabolic traits between so-called disease-resistant inbred rat strains Dark Agouti (DA), Brown Norway (BN), Lewis (LEW), Wistar-Kyoto (WKY), Fischer 344 (F344) and wild rats (Rattus...
