Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats exhibit significant phenotypic variability despite genetic uniformity, yet a comprehensive characterization of these divergent phenotypes remains limited. METHODS: Male ZDF (fa/fa) rats (4 months, n = 22) and ZDF (fa/+) lean controls (n = 10) were maintained on standard chow for 6 months. Based on metabolic trajectory, ZDF (fa/fa) rats were stratified into three...
