Cytolipotoxicity-induced involution of the female reproductive tract following expression of obese (ob/ob) and diabetes (db/db) genotype mutations: progressive, hyperlipidemic transformation into adipocytic tissues.

Abstract excerpt

Both diabetes (db/db) and obese (ob/ob) single gene mutations induce a progressive, hyperglycemic-hyperinsulinemic endometabolic environment which promotes hypercytolipidemic, utero-ovarian involution in C57BL/KsJ mice. The progressive expression of the induced diabetes-obesity syndrome (DOS) results in female reproductive sterility and eventual organoatrophy. In order to define the intra-cytoplasmic alterations...
