Animal Models of Diabetes: Frontiers in Research, 2nd edition

As the incidence of diabetes increases worldwide, the need for recommendations on how to prevent and treat the condition grows exponentially, and so does the need for an authoritative source for information on the appropriate models to study the condition. The new edition of Animal Models of Diabetes is that source. The book presents updated and expanded information regarding the use of models in experiments with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. The new edition compiles relevant time-saving information on well-recognized models, including various mice, rats, minipigs, and Rhesus monk Rat models of type 1 diabetes : genetics, environment, and autoimmunity / J.P.

This new edition provides researchers with updated and expanded information regarding the use models in experiments with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. It compiles relevant timesaving information on most, if not all, current well-recognized models for both types of diabetes, including various mice, rats, minipigs and Rhesus monkeys, and provides extensive references for more in-depth study. Among several other topics, it discusses nutritionally diabetes-prone animals, and considerations of insulin resistance and obesity. It also addresses the importance of recent findings on pathogenesis of diabetes and its complications in relation to human disease Offers researchers with information regarding the use models in experiments with both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. This title compiles relevant timesaving information on various well-recognized models for both types of diabetes, including various mice, rats, minipigs and Rhesus monkeys, and provides references for more in-depth study.
