Stress-induced hyperphagia and obesity in rats: a possible model for understanding human obesity
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|January 23, 1976
Abstract:
Mild tail pinch administered to rats several times daily in the presence of sweetened mild induced immediate hyperphagia and led to considerable gain in body weight. Parallels are drawn with stress-induced hyperhagia and altered affective states in obese humans.

02:43Mouse Models of Cancer Study
Mice have long served as models for studying human biology and pathology because of their phylogenetic and physiological similarity with humans. They are also easy to maintain and breed in the laboratory, and hence, many inbred strains are now available for research. Studies on mice have contributed immeasurably to our understanding of cancer biology.
The development of transgenic, knockout, and knock-in mice has led to an exponential increase in their use as model organisms in research,...
