Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the use of proton spectroscopy to measure abdominal fat content in pre-obese offspring of obese and lean Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF-drt) rats. DESIGN: Large and small litters (size 4-15, 127 pups total) were serially measured during the suckling period to assess their abdominal fat index (AFI) and subsequently identified as to their genotype (fa/fa obese or Fa/? lean). MEASUREMENTS: Body...
