The effect of genetic obesity and phenobarbital treatment on hepatic conjugation pathways was evaluated in the obese Zucker rat. Acetaminophen pharmacokinetic parameters were examined in vivo after a 30-mg/kg acetaminophen intravenous bolus dose in the presence and absence of phenobarbital
The Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rat is an obesity and type 2 diabetes model. Progression to diabetes is well characterised in ZDF rats, but only in the fasted state. We evaluated the mechanisms underlying postprandial insulin resistance in young ZDF rats. We tested the hypothesis that the overall
Impairment of redox homeostasis has been extensively associated with obesity, as a consequence of the chronic inflammatory state present in overweight subjects. Deregulation of glutathione (GSH), the most important non-enzymatic intracellular anti-oxidant, induces insulin resistance in mature
The LOU/C (LOU) rat is an obesity resistant strain with higher longevity and healthspan than common rats. The management of oxidative stress being important to successful aging, we characterized this process in the aging LOU rat. Male/female LOU rats were euthanized at 4, 20, and 29 months.
