title: Efficiency of energy utilization by the Zucker hereditarily obese rat "fatty" (38569).
abstract: The hereditarily obese rat "fatty", with food intake restricted to approximately normal, laid down excessive fat at the rate of 0.56 g rat per day for up to 74 days on experiment, producing an energy denser, but lighter weight, carcass than the normal control.  The "fatty" retained over 20% of the energy supplied, in its carcass, the control less than 10%.
