Diet: SF00-245 16% Fat 1% Cholesterol Semi Pure Rodent Diet

A high fat fixed formulation diet for laboratory rats and mice diet based on AIN93G.

This diet was developed in collaboration with Judy DeHaan Klein (Institute of Reproduction and Development, Monash University).
The diet relies heavily on two published papers 'Synthetic low and high fat diets for the study of artheriosclerosis in the mouse', Nishina et al, J Lipid Research Vol 31 1990 and 'The mouse as a model for human cardiovascular disease and hyperlipidaemia', Paigen et al. Current Opinion in Lipidology 1994, 5:258-264.
Contains 0.5% Cholate and 1% Cholesterol.
We have received reports of a reduction in feed intake after prolonged feeding with some strains. This can be overcome by the use of food flavourings.
In mouse model systems fat deposition is usually evident with 10 weeks.
