Dietary obesity in rats: body weight and body fat accretion in seven strains of rats
R Schemmel, O Mickelsen, JL Gill - The Journal of nutrition, 1970 - Elsevier
Ten male and 10 female rats from each of seven strains were fed a grain ration for 10 or 20
weeks from weaning. Body weight and body fat of these rats were compared with those of 20
rats of the same age and sex fed a ration containing 60% hydrogenated fat. Also, five male
and five female rats of the same seven strains were killed at weaning. Mean weanling
weights and the percentage of body fat for the seven strains of rats were similar. Mean
weights of five male rats fed grain for 20 weeks ranged from 304 g for S 5B/Pl rats to 445 g …
