The effects of obesity on thyroid function in a metabolically healthy high-fat, high-carbohydrate diet-induced obese rat model
The HFHC diet has induced MHO in male Sprague Dawley rats. This warrants using this model to investigate the homeostatic changes that occur during the metabolically healthy obese state. This can open new avenues for developing preventative measures to avoid progressing to MUO.
