Objective: To study the reproductive profile of a murine model of dietinduced obesity. Methods: Experimental study of cases and controls. Thirty two adult female Wistar rats were divided into two groups: Control group (CG), fed with standard diet, and Obese group (OG), fed with cafeteria diet. After six weeks they were mated with healthy adult males and the reproductive profile was evaluated. Results: After six weeks of feeding, the Obese group had a significantly greater weight gain than the Control group (OG: 33.9 ± 4.0 g; CG: 18.3 ± 2.6g; p
