Objective: The spontaneously hypertensive stroke prone rat (SHRSP) is a model of insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. Feeding a 60% fructose diet exaggerates these phenotypes. The Y chromosome may influence lipid levels in the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). Therefore we aim to characterise the metabolic syndrome using in vivo and dyslipidemic phenotpyes in the SHRSP and examine the contribution of the Y chromosome.Methods: SHRSP and WKY Y consomic strains (SP...
