The COVID-19 pandemic has caused millions of deaths worldwide and caused significant impact on the global economy. The risk of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is higher in people with diabetes and obesity. The exact mechanism by which obesity and diabetes contribute to the pathophysiology of COVID-19 is unknown and one of the key player is believed to be related to the renin-angiotensin system (RAS).

Join Dr. Mike Pellizzon for his presentation at the Swiss Laboratory Animal meeting this Friday. Diet is an important consideration when designing your rodent studies for gut microbiome research; in particular, fiber is a key factor that can drive changes.

Rodent Diet With 40 kcal% Fat (Mostly Palm Oil), 20 kcal% Fructose and 2% Cholesterol(D09100310) has been tested by the Danish contract research organization, Gubra, and is also referred to as the Gubra-Amlyin NASH (GAN) diet in the literature.

This important question will be addressed at a special session during NUTRITION 2021 LIVE ONLINE, June 9, 2021 from 2:00 – 3:30 PM EDT. Michael A. Pellizzon, PhD from Research Diets, Inc. is presenting.
