Obesity

05/2007	Maternal obesity increases hypothalamic leptin receptor expression and sensitivity in juvenile obesity-prone rats.
01/2007	Altered hypothalamic leptin, insulin, and melanocortin binding associated with moderate-fat diet and predisposition to obesity.
09/2005	F-DIO obesity-prone rat is insulin resistant before obesity onset.
04/2005	Reduced anorexic effects of insulin in obesity-prone rats fed a moderate-fat diet.
11/2004	Obesity-prone rats have preexisting defects in their counterregulatory response to insulin-induced hypoglycemia.
10/2004	Reduced brain CRH and GR mRNA expression precedes obesity in juvenile rats bred for diet-induced obesity.
01/2004	Obesity-prone rats have normal blood-brain barrier transport but defective central leptin signaling before obesity onset.
11/2003	Abnormalities of leptin and ghrelin regulation in obesity-prone juvenile rats.
11/2003	A new obesity-prone, glucose-intolerant rat strain (F.DIO).
10/2002	Reduced central leptin sensitivity in rats with diet-induced obesity.
