Abstract
Overnutrition and obesity have developed into a major public health problem across different parts of the world. Epidemiological studies have shown that excessive intake of dietary components, such as fatty acids and/or sugars, can promote obesity. In this context, the use of dietary intervention in animal models that respond to a diet similar to humans is useful to understand this preventable, multifactorial disease. The aim of this chapter is to aid researchers in choosing specific nutritional interventions and animal strains to induce obesity and obesity-related morbidities in experimental models.Entities:
