Metabolic Diseases
Metabolic diseases are orchestraed from multiple factors and involved in multiple organs in the body. HD Biosciences offers a variety of animal models of metabolic diseases including diabetes, dyslipidemia and obesity. These include both diet-induced and genetic disease models; each model has its own features mimicking human diseases. Thus selection of the appropriate disease model based on the mechanism of action of test agent is critical for ensuring the success of the study. Our seasoned leaders in the field will tailor the study design to individual client's needs.
Diabetes

ob/ob mice, db/db mice
Aged CD-1 mice (retired breeders)
Rats (DIO, fa/fa)
Readouts: Body weight, food intake, fat pad content
Dyslipidemia
