Vitamin A supplementation induces adipose tissue loss through apoptosis in lean but not in obese rats of the WNIN/Ob strain.

Journal of molecular endocrinology - 1 Oct 2005

Abstract excerpt

Vitamin A is a known regulator of adipose tissue growth. In this paper, we report the possible role of dietary vitamin A supplementation in the regulation of adipose tissue mass, using a novel obese rat model of the WNIN/Ob strain developed at the National Centre for Laboratory Animal Sciences of the National Institute of Nutrition, India. Twenty-four male lean and obese rats of the WNIN/Ob strain were broadly...
