DIO mice are used to study metabolic disease and obesity because they exhibit elevated glucose, insulin, cholesterol, leptin and corticosterone, thus mimicking many aspects and complications of human metabolic disease. The DIO C57BL/6NTac remains a preferred metabolic model because when placed on a high fat diet, C57BL/6NTac develops more consistent and pronounced metabolic syndrome compared to other DIO models, a statement said. "Taconic´s DIO mice will be available for immediate delivery in typical study sizes, saving researchers months of conditioning time and allowing them to start studies faster, " said portfolio director for commercial models at Taconic, Dr. Megan MacBride.
