and endocrine homeostasis may create a predisposition to a range of metabolic disorders, including diet-induced obesity and type-2 diabetes in adult life ( Ozanne 2001 , Barker 2004 , McMillen & Robinson 2005 ). The etiology of obesity is

pathophysiology of the human obesity syndrome, and in the search of novel anti-obesity agents, polygenetic animal models closely mimicking the human obesity syndrome are crucial. One such polygenetic model is the diet-induced obese (DIO) and diet-resistant (DR
