Strain Description
The DIO-B6-M model represents a Diet-Induced Obesity (DIO) mouse model, generated by subjecting male C57BL/6Cya mice to a 60% high-fat diet (HFD). These mice exhibit significant weight gain, elevated random blood glucose levels, increased populations of NK cells and macrophages, and elevated blood lipids and liver function markers. This model is highly valuable for investigating metabolic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and inflammation, and for evaluating the efficacy of potential therapeutic agents in preclinical studies. The effectiveness of diet-induced obesity (DIO) modeling can be influenced by various factors including diet, strain, condition, and husbandry practices. Some variability between model batches may occur; please contact us for further information.
Application Area
Research on diet-induced obesity, diabetes, inflammation, fatty liver, and other metabolic disorders
Preclinical evaluation of anti-obesity drugs
