Our recent proteomic study has shown that plasma protein levels of fetuin-B (Ft-B) and zinc-α2-glycoprotein (ZAG) are significantly elevated in obesity-resistant (OR) rats exposed to a high fat diet. Time profiling of the plasma concentrations of Ft-B and ZAG in OR rats has shown stable regulation of these proteins throughout the entire period of rat breeding.
