WNIN/GR-Ob - an insulin-resistant obese rat model from inbred WNIN strain.

The Indian journal of medical research - 1 Sept 2011

Harishankar N, Vajreswari A, Giridharan N V

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: WNIN/GR-Ob is a mutant obese rat strain with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) developed at the National Institute of Nutrition (NIN), Hyderabad, India, from the existing 80 year old Wistar rat (WNIN) stock colony. The data presented here pertain to its obese nature along with IGT trait as evidenced by physical, physiological and biochemical parameters. The study also explains its...
