Caenorhabditis elegans as a model for obesity research.

International journal of obesity (2005) - 1 Feb 2012

Zheng J, Greenway F L

Abstract excerpt

Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is a small nematode that conserves 65% of the genes associated with human disease, has a 21-day lifespan, reproductive cycles of 3 days, large brood sizes, lives in an agar dish and does not require committee approvals for experimentation. Research using C. elegans is encouraged and a Caenorhabditis Genetics Center (CGC, Minnesota) is funded by the National Institutes of...
