Abstract excerpt
Metabolic syndrome is a frequent condition with multifactorial aetiology. Previous studies indicated the presence of genetic determinants of metabolic syndrome components on rat chromosome 2 (RNO2) and syntenic regions of the human genome. Our aim was to further explore these findings using novel rat models. We derived the BN-Dca and BN-Lx.Dca congenic strains by introgression of a limited RNO2 region from a...
