Abstract:
Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of multiple cancers. In efforts to develop models that will assist the scientific community in studying the mechanisms of this risk, a diet-induced obesity model of obesity is often utilized. Here we describe the use of diet-induced obesity (DIO) diets to study the effects of high-fat diet weight gain in the context of cancer mouse models.
