Abstract excerpt
Recessive mutations at the rat fatty locus (fa, facp), which produce obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes, provide useful experimental models for similar phenotypes in humans. The molecular pathogenesis of the metabolic phenotype in animals segregating for fa is unknown and difficult to study once the confounding metabolic effects of obesity are present. Although various experimental methods distinguish...
