C-Peptide-based assessment of insulin secretion in the Zucker Fatty rat: a modelistic study.
A C-peptide-based assessment of β-cell function was performed here in the Zucker fatty rat, a suitable animal model of human metabolic syndrome. To this aim, a 90-min intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) was performed in seven Zucker fatty rats (ZFR), 7-to-9 week-old, and seven age-matched Zuc...
