Fatty acid synthase and adipsin mRNA levels in obese and lean JCR:LA-cp rats: effect of diet.

Fatty acid synthase and adipsin mRNA levels in obese and lean JCR:LA-cp rats: effect of diet.

In Sprague-Dawley rats, fatty acid synthase (FAS) activity is suppressed by dietary fat. To test the hypothesis that a defect in regulation of de novo fatty acid synthesis exists in massive obesity, we investigated the effect of diet on FAS mRNA levels in genetically obese JCR:LA-corpulent (cp) rats...
