Metabolic Models
Obesity presents an enormous burden on health and its negative side effects extend across multiple organ systems and diseases. It is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, certain cancers, osteoarthritis, gastrointestinal, reproductive disorders and pulmonary diseases. Additionally, obesity triggers a low grade inflammatory response which involves many components of a classical inflammatory response to pathogens. At MLM Medical Labs, in order to understand and assess these inflammatory components, we offer diet-induced obesity (DIO) and inflammatory disease models that can be customized to fit your project’s goals.
Available assessments:
- Feed intake
- Body weight
- Insulin levels
- Glucose tolerance
- Blood pressure
- Feed pairing
- Biomarkers
- Histology/IHC
Are you interested in a variation of a model or a new paradigm?
Our scientists are passionate about the development of new models! We often participate in opportunities for co-development and pilot programs to establish new models and reach new levels of understanding.
