Available Technology
Animal model of diabetes and obesity
Technology:
Cross-bred JNK1 KO/JNK 2 KO Mice
Markets Addressed
These mice are a research tool that can be used to screen therapeutic compounds for efficacy in diabetes and obesity.
Innovations and Advantages
Mice with the JNK 1 and JNK2 genes knocked out were crossed with the obese mouse line (ob/ob) to create a mouse model of diabetes and obesity. These mice exhibit many of the hallmark metabolic pertubations characteristic in diabetes and obesity.
