Abstract excerpt
The postnatal development of the ob gene system has been examined in Zucker fa/fa and +/fa plus +/+ (referred to as +/?) rats. White adipose tissue was taken from animals aged 1 to 28 days. Before weaning, white fat was predominantly subcutaneous, the amount increasing rapidly after birth. ob mRN...
