Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Wistar Ottawa Karlsburg W (RT1u) rats (WOKW) develop a complete metabolic syndrome closely resembling the human disease. The aim of this study was to characterize the phenotype of adipose tissue in WOKW rats with regard to adipocyte metabolism, insulin resistance, and gene expression and thus to define the phenotype more precisely. METHODS: Glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and gene expression...
