Genetic predisposition to obesity affects behavioural traits including food reward and anxiety-like behaviour in rats.

Behavioural brain research - 15 Jun 2017

Abstract excerpt

Here we sought to define behavioural traits linked to anxiety, reward, and exploration in different strains of rats commonly used in obesity research. We hypothesized that genetic variance may contribute not only to their metabolic phenotype (that is well documented) but also to the expression of these behavioural traits. Rat strains that differ in their susceptibility to develop an obese phenotype...
