Rat inbred PD/Cub strain as a model of dyslipidemia and insulin resistance

Abstract

Metabolic syndrom X, insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemia, PD/Cub rat strain, genetic markers. The PD/Cub rat strain was established as a model of dyslipidemia and insulin resistance due to verified inbread status of PD/Cub strain and due to metabolic parameters (hypertrigylceridemia, hyperinsulinemia, high levels of FFA and insulin resistance)
