Nutrient Requirements of Laboratory Animals,
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309051266
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
In the years since the third edition of this indispensable reference was published, a great deal has been learned about the nutritional requirements of common laboratory species: rat, mouse, guinea pig, hamster, gerbil, and vole. The Fourth Revised Edition presents the current expert understanding of the lipid, carbohydrate, protein, mineral, vitamin, and other nutritional needs of these animals. The extensive use of tables provides easy access to a wealth of comprehensive data and resource information. The volume also provides an expanded background discussion of general dietary considerations. In addition to a more user-friendly organization, new features in this edition include: A significantly expanded section on dietary requirements for rats, reporting substantial new findings. A new section on nutrients that are not required but that may produce beneficial results. New information on growth and reproductive performance among the most commonly used strains of rats and mice and on several hamster species. An expanded discussion of diet formulation and preparationâ€"including sample diets of both purified and natural ingredients. New information on mineral deficiency and toxicity, including warning signs. This authoritative resource will be important to researchers, laboratory technicians, and manufacturers of laboratory animal feed.

Are Rodent Models Fit for Investigation of Human Obesity and Related Diseases?
Author: Patrick C. Even
Publisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2889454258
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
Not only developed countries, but also most developing areas of the world, have experienced a surge in obesity prevalence over recent decades. Obesity complications are now among the leading causes of premature mortality, encompassing conditions such as coronary heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. This places a heavy burden on contemporary healthcare systems. While rodent models have limitations as experimental models of human obesity-related disease, study of rats and mice either spontaneously prone - or resistant - to obesity, or genetically engineered to illuminate underlying mechanisms has yielded key information about the metabolic defects linked to obesity, and their associated diseases. This topic includes both original research studies and reviews of the use of animal studies in specific areas of obesity-related disease. Various methodological approaches are discussed, with evaluation of the extent to which use of animal models has facilitated progress, or, conversely, has proved a cul de sac in investigation of human disease mechanisms. Consideration is also given to future strategies to use such rodent models optimally to enhance comprehension and treatment of pandemic human obesity-related diseases.

Animal Models for the Study of Human Disease
Author: Louise Thibault
Publisher: Elsevier Inc. Chapters
ISBN: 0128072032
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
This chapter aims to review literature on different aspects of obesity from fat-rich diets in non-human species. Usefulness of using small rodents in animal models to infer aspects of human obesity is discussed in terms of similarities and differences and how obesity is defined. The paradigm of using fat-rich diets in animal models of human obesity is explored according to its adequacy and dietary characteristics related to fatty acid composition. Physiological factors and mechanisms that can play a role in the development of obesity induced by a diet rich in fat are examined, namely the efficiency of nutrient utilization and the possible lack of inhibitory effect of fat on intake. The role of hormones such as leptin, ghrelin and insulin is discussed. Bevavioural mechanisms related to sensory-specific facilitation of eating with fat rich diets, altered feeding rhythmicity and learned eating are considered. The possible reversal of fat-rich diet induced obesity in animal models is explored. This chapter concludes with comments on appropriate design of animal studies and suggestions for future research.
