Abstract

Background: Animal models of obesity have been used for a long time in the world to imitate diseases in humans but has not standardized in Viet Nam. Objectives: The study aims to found a high-fat diet with a defined fat content ratio that can create a achieving obese mouse model. Methods: In vivo experimental study on five-week-old mice was fed a regular diet (control batch) and a high-fat diet with different fat contents (20%, 40% and 60%) (trial batch) for 08 weeks. The trial mice were considered obese when their body weight was 40% higher than the control mice. Results: Diet containing 40% and 60% fat content produced a achieving obese mouse model. Conclusion: The research team has built a high-fat diet with a different fat content ratio that can create an experimental obesity mouse model.
