Zusammenfassung
Aims: Obese insulin deficient, Leptin deficient Zucker rats (fa/fa) develop spontaneously metabolic syndrome and fatty liver. It has been shown that obese Zucker rats exhibited increased hepatic oxidative stress and showed a significant increase in carcinogenic exocyclic etheno-DNA adducts as compared to their lean littermates (Wang et al., Hepatology 50,453: 2009). Therefore, we wondered whether such an effect could also be observed in an animal model in which steatosis is induced by diets and which resembles better the human situation. Methods: In the present study male Wistar rats received a semi-synthetic hi…
