Pharmacodynamic and Pharmacokinetic Profile of a Novel GLP-1 Receptor Biased Agonist
Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists have emerged as promising therapeutic options for addressing type‐2 diabetes, obesity, and related conditions. However, because of the continued need for injectable administration, many GLP-1 agonists face compliance challenges. To improve the design and production of GLP-1 receptor biased agonists with enhanced druggability, a novel small molecule, designated SAL0112, was …Read More >
Xenograft and Syngeneic Tumor Models in Rats
Leverage our extensive panel of rat xenograft and syngeneic tumor models. Advantages for using rats in preclinical efficacy studies compared with mice include: more similar metabolism and physiology to human; easier use for orthotopic model surgery, vascular manipulation, and imaging; larger sampling sizes to ensure sufficient amount for bioanalysis; consistent animal species to toxicology studies …Read More >

Quantitative Histopathology of Fibrosis in an Animal Model of NASH
The hepatic fibrosis has been the most challenging aspect in the animal models for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Although it could induced by nutritional (high-fat died with high cholesterol, methionine and choline deficient diet, etc), chemical (carbon tetrachloride, thioacetamide, α-naphthylisothiocyanate etc.), and surgical (bile duct ligation) means, the clinical relevance of the resulting fibrosis remains an …Read More >
