| Abstract: |
| Objective To observe the various parameters related to metabolic syndrome and prediabetes in aLeptin receptor-knockout ( Lepr -/ - ) rat model established by CRISPR/ Cas9 technique. Methods Periodically, wemeasured the weights, daily food intake, random and fasting blood glucose, and serum biochemical indexes of the Lepr -/ -rats, and performed glucose and insulin tolerance tests. Pathological changes in the main organs of Lepr -/ - rats wereexamined at 14 and 18 weeks of age. We also observed the lipid deposition in the main organs of Lepr -/ - rats. Results Lepr -/ - rats exhibited obesity, high food intake, dysfunctional glucose tolerance and insulin resistance as well asdyslipidemia. Islet and myocardial hypertrophies, fatty liver, and obesity-related glomerulopathy were observed in the Lepr -/ - rats at 14 and 18 weeks of age. Lipid deposition was found in hepatocytes, renal tubular epithelial cells, and skeletalmuscle cells. Conclusions Lepr -/ - rats are an ideal animal model of metabolic diseases and may contribute to revealing the pathogenesis and new drug development for such metabolic disorders. |
