Spontaneous Type 2 Diabetic Rodent Models by Yang-wei Wang, Guang-dong Sun, Jing Sun, Shu-jun Liu, Ji Wang, Xiao-hong Xu, Li-ning Miao

“…Among these models, the spontaneous rodent models are used more frequently because many of them can closely describe the characteristic features of T2DM, especially obesity and insulin resistance. In this paper, we aim to investigate the current available spontaneous rodent models for T2DM with regard to their characteristic features, advantages, and disadvantages, and especially to describe appropriate selection and usefulness of different spontaneous rodent models in testing of various new antidiabetic drugs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.…”
