Abstract
Animal models of diabetes and metabolic disease 2014.
Highlights
Complications associated with diabetes, such as retinopathy, peripheral neuropathy, and nephropathy, threaten quality of life (QOL)
Molecular biological techniques have dramatically improved and have become more important to clarify underlying mechanisms of diseases, the importance of hereditary animal models has not changed. In this special issue we introduce recent beneficial experimental animal models in this field and present up-todate information on the pathophysiology of and therapeutic drugs for metabolic diseases using valuable animal models
Similar to the previous special issue “Animal Models of Diabetes and Metabolic Disease” published in 2013, several new animal models will be introduced in this special issue
Summary
Similar to the previous special issue “Animal Models of Diabetes and Metabolic Disease” published in 2013, several new animal models will be introduced in this special issue. Editorial Animal Models of Diabetes and Metabolic Disease 2014 Four papers will present new diabetic animal models, the Spontaneously Diabetic Torii (SDT) rat and its derivative, the SDT fatty rat.
