Diet-induced obesity in the rat: a model for gestational diabetes mellitus

Article Abstract:

The diet-induced obesity in the rats is used as models to investigate the physiological and molecular abnormalities in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDR). The diet-induced obesity in rats is associated with glucose intolerance during pregnancy but not in nonpregnant state and is likely to result from the additive effects of obesity and pregnancy on insulin sensitivity.
