Metabolic Diseases
Metabolic diseases are orchestrated from multiple factors and involved in multiple organs in the body. HD Biosciences offers a variety of animal models including diabetes, obesity and dyslipidemia. 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 in vivo pharmacology studies. Our seasoned leaders in the field will tailor
the study design to individual client's needs.
