Reduced hepatocyte fatty acid oxidation in outbred rats prescreened for susceptibility to diet-induced obesity.

Abstract excerpt

Rats vary in their propensity to become obese when eating a high-fat diet, but the factors that make some rats susceptible and others resistant to diet-induced obesity are unclear. Recent studies show that rats predisposed to diet-induced obesity have a preexisting deficit in fat oxidation and suggest that this impairment is due in part to reduced fatty acid oxidation in liver. To determine directly whether rats...
