Validation of the obese Ossabaw miniature pig as a model of the obese polycystic ovary syndrome phenotype with concomitant metabolic syndrome: exploration of polycystic ovary syndrome pathophysiology using in vivo and in vitro
… focused on the validation of the obese Ossabaw (OSS) pig as an animal model for the obese phenotype of PCOS with concomitant MetS. Unlike the currently available animal models for PCOS, this animal model incorporates both heritable (thrifty genotype breed) and non-heritable (obesogenic …

Exercise Training Improves Cerebrovascular Oxidative Stress Regulation and Insulin Stimulated Vasodilation in Juvenile and Mature Pigs
… 17 mature (n=9F/7M; 14±1 months; mass=83±9 kg) Ossabaw miniature-pigs were divided into sedentary or exercise training groups. Pigs in the exercise training groups completed high intensity interval training three times per week for eight weeks. All animals were group housed with access to 1 kg …
