Overview

The study reveals how high-fat diets impact obesity metrics in male Wistar rats, indicating a strong dose-response relationship.

Key Points

  • High-fat diets significantly increased body weight by 35% in Wistar rats over 10 weeks.
  • The HF-20 diet showed the highest energy content at 4144.1 Kcal/kg, indicating enhanced feed efficiency.
  • Nutrient digestibility decreased alongside increased fat content, leading to notable changes in rat physiology.
  • The findings support the use of high-fat diets in exploring metabolic disorders and obesity in preclinical models.
