Abstract excerpt
After three decades of physiological research, the precise nature of the genetic lesion in Zucker fatty (fa/fa) rats remains unknown. Several methods have been used to identify preobese rats to detect the earliest phenotypic effects of the fa mutation. Most of these methods have used phenotypic characteristics that are not reliable until the second week of life, when increased adiposity is already evident. We...
