Excerpt from Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1977, Vol. 154 The increased gain in body fat relative to protein with increasing age is a well-known phenomenon. In addition, rate of body gain generally decreases with age. Collectively, these observations could account for the general decrease in fl/bw observed in both the lean and obese animals with age in our studies. However, the differences in these age-related changes between lean and obese animals are not yet well defined. Inactivity in ...

Excerpt from Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1977, Vol. 154 The increased gain in body fat relative to protein with increasing age is a well-known phenomenon. In addition, rate of body gain generally decreases with age. Collectively, these observations could account for the general decrease in fl/bw observed in both the lean and obese animals with age in our studies. However, the differences in these age-related changes between lean and obese animals are not yet well defined. Inactivity in the older obese rat may also account for part of the difference in the fl/bw changes between lean and obese rats observed in our studies. Young obese Zucker rats have been shown to be less active and to have a lower basal metabolism than lean littermates Also, older obese rats have been reported to be more sluggish and to have a lower main tenance requirement (2) than lean rats.
