Detecting fa leptin receptor mutation in Zucker rats with tetra-primer amplification-refractory mutation system (ARMS)-PCR

Due to the genetic mutation (fa) in the gene encoding for leptin receptor, homozygous Zucker rats (fa−/−) develop excessive adiposity and become an experimental animal model in obesity and metabolic-related diseases research. Based on tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase...
