Custom Induction-Based Models
In addition to our genetic model library, Cyagen offers a collection of induction-based models developed through established experimental protocols. While not currently listed in MouseAtlas™, these models are validated and available through our custom services.
These models are ideal for studies requiring clinical-like disease phenotypes that cannot be fully recapitulated by gene-edited lines alone.
Available Models Include:
  • NASH / MASH: HFD + CCl₄-induced fatty liver injury
  • Alcoholic Steatohepatitis
  • Acute & Chronic Liver Injury (CCl₄)
  • DIO Obesity & Type 2 Diabetes Models
  • Diabetic Complications Models
  • Renal Disease Models
  • Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)
  • Peripheral Vascular Disease / Stroke Models

{{static_tabs[1].title}}
Our in vivo CRO platform delivers customized efficacy evaluation for metabolic and cardiovascular drugs. From glucose tolerance and lipid profiling to liver and vascular pathology, we help generate data aligned with clinical endpoints.
Obesity & Diabetes Models
  • Body weight, food intake, GTT/ITT, fasting/random blood glucose, metabolic cage analysis
  • Histological analysis (H&E, Oil Red O, Sirius Red, IHC)
Liver & Pancreas Evaluation
  • Hepatic weight, enzyme markers (ALT/AST), tissue volume quantification
  • Pancreatic edema, saponification spot observation in acute pancreatitis models
Kidney Function Studies
  • Urine volume/protein/sugar, GFR, inflammatory cytokines (TGF-β1, IL-6), BUN, CRE
  • Histopathology and biomarker-based renal injury assessment
Atherosclerosis & Cardiovascular Evaluation
  • Blood lipids (HDL-C, LDL-C, TG, TC), aortic plaque area quantification
  • Oil Red O, H&E staining of aortic arch
Looking for tailored in vivo assays to validate your candidate?

{{static_tabs[2].title}}
Our in vitro platform offers robust target validation and mechanism-of-action studies using primary cells and functional assays tailored to metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.
Target-Based Drug Screening
  • PPAR-α/γ, 11β-HSD, GLP-1R, PCSK9, DPP-IV, and Factor Xa assays
Biomarker Profiling
  • Adipokines and hormones: Leptin, GIP, GLP1, Resistin, Ghrelin, etc.
  • Cytokines: multiplex detection (MSD, Luminex, ELISA)
Cellular Models for MOA Research
  • INS-1, MIN6, HK-2, primary hepatocytes, mesangial cells, and adipocyte models
  • Glucose transporter uptake and cAMP signaling studies
