Gene Affected
Origin Congenic BB.6S rats were established by cross of BB/OK and SHR/Mol rats and repeated backcrossing onto BB/OK rats in 2000.
Strain characteristics Diabetes frequency is significantly decreased in comparison with parental BB/OK rats (15 vs. 86%).Animals are heavier and serum lipids are increased compared with BB/OK.
