high-fat diet-fed Wistar rat

Wistar rats fed a purified high-fat diet develop features of metabolic syndrome: DIO groups show significantly increased fasting plasma glucose, plasma insulin and triglycerides versus controls.

Biological characteristics

Research questions
Whether a high-fat diet induces metabolic syndrome features in Wistar rats, including glycemic, insulin and lipid readouts.
Limitations
Outbred diet-induced model; plasma adiponectin and leptin responses differ between high-fat and high-fat-fructose subgroups, so hormonal readouts are diet-composition dependent.
