Diet-Induced Obesity Model

The primary cause of obesity is excessive caloric intake with too little exercise. Dietary-induced obesity in mice usually involves a high-fat diet and is translatable to the human population. Dietary-induced obese mice are well-established animal models of obesity. Male C57BL/6 mice 9 weeks old, are fed on 60% kcal high fat irradiated diet for 8 weeks. Control males are housed in the same location and are fed with Standard chow.

Takis is a biotech dedicated to cancer research. Our primary objective is the development of innovative therapies based on the principle that our immune system can be “instructed” to recognize the tumor and reject it as a foreign entity.
