The diet-induced obesity (DIO) model recapitulates metabolic factors implicated in human obesity, which has led to its use in studying the relationship between diet, genes, and other factors in the developmental processes of obesity, diabetes, and related metabolic disorders. Cyagen’s DIO mouse models are developed by feeding a high-calorie diet and may be used for preclinical efficacy studies of obesity and related complications.
