Abstract excerpt
An obesity-induced diabetes model using genetically normal mouse strains would be invaluable but remains to be established. One reason is that several normal mouse strains are resistant to high-fat diet-induced obesity. In the present study, we show the effectiveness of gold thioglucose (GTG) in inducing hyperphagia and severe obesity in mice, and demonstrate the development of obesity-induced diabetes in...
