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 c...
