Diet-Induced Obesity Models 

Obesity is one of the world’s leading public health problems. The proportion of individuals falling into the severely overweight–obese category is increasing at an alarming rate, especially in children. Coincident with increased adiposity is the risk for developing glucose intolerance, the so-called metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes. Charles River Discovery Research Services offers services for the assessment of therapeutic agents designed to interfere with diet induced obesity (DIO). Our offerings provide a flexible platform for the assessment of physiologic changes and the attendant biomarkers associated with DIO. Combining your choice of species, strain, diet and analytical parameters, we can customize studies to suit the individual needs of our clients.
