To understand mechanisms underlying a resistance to obesity, two obesity-resistant inbred mouse strains, SWR/J and A/J, were compared to 3 inbred "control" strains, C3H/HeJ, BALB/cByJ and C57L/J. These 5 strains, studied at 5 weeks of age when similar in body weight, were maintained for 3 weeks on a 3-diet feeding paradigm, with separate jars of carbohydrate, protein and fat, or for 1 week on a single high-fat or...
