JCR:LA-corpulent (JCR:LA-cp) rat
Homozygous corpulent rats with a leptin receptor mutation develop severe obesity; JCR:LA-cp rats do not develop hyperglycemia due to islet beta-cell insulin hypersecretion.
Outcome measures
获得可供光学显微镜观察的 H&E 染色组织切片:细胞核蓝紫色、细胞质与结缔组织纤维粉红色,用于观察组织中细胞的整体结构与形态细节。本方案本身不产出病理评分数值,也不提供特定分子标志物的定量结果。

Experimental procedures
脱蜡(Dewaxing) 石蜡切片置于二甲苯中脱蜡 3 次,每次 00:03:00。 复水(Rehydration) 石蜡切片依次置于 100% 乙醇中 3 次、每次 00:03:00,再置于 95% 乙醇中 1 次、00:03:00,随后用水漂洗。 苏木素核染色(Hematoxylin staining) 石蜡切片以苏木素染液染色 00:00:20,随后在流水下冲洗 00:01:00。 分化与返蓝(Differentiation and bluing) 石蜡切片置于返蓝液中 00:01:00,随后在流水下冲洗 00:01:00;此步使细胞核呈现蓝色。 伊红染色(Eosin staining) 石蜡切片以伊红复染 00:00:10;此步使细胞质成分与结缔组织纤维呈现粉红色。 脱水与透明(Dehydration and Clearing) 石蜡切片依次置于 95% 乙醇中 00:02:00、100% 乙醇中 2 次、每次 00:02:00,随后置于二甲苯中 2 次、每次 00:02:00。 封片(Mounting) 石蜡切片以 Permount 封片介质加盖玻片封固。

Biological characteristics
- Research questions
- Whether leptin-receptor-deficient corpulent strains model human obesity and diabetic atherosclerotic vascular disease.
- Limitations
- Because they remain normoglycemic through compensatory insulin hypersecretion, they are used for atherosclerotic vascular disease and obesity questions rather than as a hyperglycemic diabetes model.
Experimental methods
Experimental protocols
- Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) staining for histopathology
Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining of fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections (4 μm). The workflow covers dewaxing, rehydration, hematoxylin nuclear staining, bluing, eosin counterstaining, dehydration and clearing, and coverslipping, yielding blue-purple nuclei and pink cytoplasm and connective tissue fibers for light-microscopic assessment of cellular and tissue morphology.
