Advancing NASH Research with Mice: Best Practices and Applications of Westernized Diets

ON-DEMAND VIRTUAL SYMPOSIUM

Nutrient Modifications in Purified Diets Differentially Affect Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease In Rodents

 
Taconic Biosciences is joined by Research Diets' Senior Scientist, Dr. Sridhar Radhakrishnan for an educational presentation during our virtual NASH Symposium.
 

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a complex spectrum of disorders ranging from benign steatosis to more aggressive forms of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and fibrosis. Purified diets formulated with specific nutritional components can drive the entire spectrum of NAFLD in rodent models. 

Dr. Radhakrishnan outlines different dietary approaches for NAFLD development in rodent models and discusses the time frames required for disease development and whether human-like NAFLD metabolic disease comorbidities develop.

Sridhar Radhakrishnan, PhD

Senior Scientist, Research Diets

Sri’s background is in Pharmaceuticals and Fine Chemicals and he received his PhD in Food Science and Human Nutrition from Colorado State University.

Before joining Research Diets, Sri was a Post-doctoral Scholar in the Department of Food Science, Pennsylvania State University. He has worked with both in vitro and in vivo (mouse and pig) models to screen, evaluate toxicity, study efficacy, and potency of anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer phytochemicals.

His background provides him strong credentials and a unique perspective to assist researchers with their laboratory animal diet formulation needs and he has thoroughly enjoyed helping and collaborating with researchers on different diet induced phenotypes in the last seven years at Research Diets, Inc.
