The Jackson Laboratory Free Webinar: Mouse Models of Human Diabesity for Therapeutic Testing

October, 2010 -- Join Jackson Laboratory scientists on Friday, November 12, at 3:00 pm, ET, as they highlight key characteristics of several well-characterized and emerging JAX® Mice models of human diabesity. Similar to humans, these models present unique phenotypes at different stages of disease progression, making them powerful tools for uncovering disease mechanisms and developing new targeted therapies. Webinar topics will include:

- The influence of genetic background on the interaction of obesity and type 2 diabetes

- Age of phenotype onset, degree of islet atrophy and obesity, and severity of hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia

- Preclinical reference compound data generated by JAX In Vivo Services
