| Description | This rodent diet containing 40 kcal% fat (predominantly from palm oil), 20 kcal% fructose, and 2% cholesterol is widely used to induce metabolic stress and mimic human dietary patterns associated with lifestyle disorders. It is suitable for diet-induced obesity and metabolic syndrome models, enabling the study of insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, and systemic inflammation. The combined high saturated fat and fructose content promotes hepatic steatosis and progression toward NAFLD/NASH, while added cholesterol facilitates hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis research. This diet is also valuable for investigating lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, gut microbiome alterations, and for evaluating the efficacy of anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, lipid-lowering, and hepatoprotective therapeutic interventions in preclinical rodent models. |
