Experimental diabetic animal models to study diabetes and diabetic complications

Diabetes is an endocrine illness involving numerous physiological systems. To understand the intricated pathophysiology and disease progression in diabetes, small animals are still the most relevant model systems, despite the availability and progression in numerous invitro and insilico • Animal models are essential to understand diabetes etiology and pathophysiology. • Diabetic models can be developed in both rodents and non-rodents. • Chemically induced and genetic models of diabetes are widely used to study diabetes and diabetic complications.
