Scope note: Cepa exogámica de ratas desarrollada en 1915 por cruzamiento de diversas hembras blancas del Instituto Wistar con un macho gris salvaje. De esta cepa exogámica original se derivaron cepas endogámicas, como las RATAS CONSANGUÍNEAS LEC (Long-Evans Cinnamon) y las RATAS CONSANGUÍNEAS OLETF (Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty), que sirven respectivamente como modelos para la enfermedad de Wilson y para la diabetes mellitus no insulinodependiente.

Scope note: An outbred strain of rats developed in 1915 by crossing several Wistar Institute white females with a wild gray male. Inbred strains have been derived from this original outbred strain, including Long-Evans cinnamon rats (RATS, INBRED LEC) and Otsuka-Long-Evans-Tokushima Fatty rats (RATS, INBRED OLETF), which are models for Wilson's disease and non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, respectively.
