Chronic dietary vitamin A supplementation regulates obesity in an obese mutant WNIN/Ob rat model.

Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.) - 1 Jan 2006

Jeyakumar Shanmugam M, Vajreswari Ayyalasomayajula, Giridharan Nappan V

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To understand the possible role of chronic dietary high vitamin A supplementation in body weight regulation and obesity using a novel WNIN/Ob obese rat model developed at the National Centre for Laboratory Animal Sciences of National Institute of Nutrition, India. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: Thirty-six 7-month-old male rats of lean, carrier, and obese phenotypes were broadly divided into two...
