Influence of genetic obesity, dietary carbohydrate and age on parameters of glucose tolerance and kidney and adrenal gland histology in female SHR/N-corpulent rats.

Abstract excerpt

Young female obese (cp/cp) and lean littermates (?/+) of the recently developed congenic strain, SHR/NIH-corpulent (SHR/N-cp), were fed for 6.5 months isocaloric diets containing 54 percent carbohydrate as either sucrose or starch. Glycemic, lipidemic and renal parameters were determined after 1, 3 and 6 months. Systolic blood pressure and plasma corticosterone levels were determined after 3 months. After 6.5...
