Improved leptin sensitivity as a potential candidate responsible for the spontaneous food restriction of the Lou/C rat.

The Lou/C rat, an inbred strain of Wistar origin, was described as a model of resistance to age- and diet-induced obesity. Although such a resistance involves many metabolic parameters described in our previous studies, Lou/C rats also exhibit a spontaneous food restriction due to decreased food con...
