Colony maintenance and the behavioral and physiological characteristics of selectively bred obesity prone and obesity resistant rats

2026-07-09

Abstract excerpt

Obesity arises from interactions between several factors including physiology, environment and genes. Studies in humans have revealed that up to 70% of overweight and obesity can be attributed to biological and genetic factors. Thus, rodent models that capture innate susceptibility or resistance to obesity have been invaluable for disentangling inherent drivers of obesity from neurobiological alterations that occu...
