This research study published in the Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine found that people and swine are very similar physiologically in the way that they store fat, and in the size of their fat cells. Scientists are studying the genetics involved in porcine that are lean versus porcine that show much more fat storage. With obesity being a large problem with the human population these days, as well as people’s desire to achieve healthy weights, this research is critical to attaining our collective physical fitness goals. It is fortunate that swine are so similar to people in their fat storage methods.
For more than 30 years, Animal Biotech has helped research teams do this kind of work by providing live porcine models and porcine tissue. In addition, we also offer clients expertise in the proper testing, care and housing of live animals.
