Protocol for JAX® DIO B6 Inventory Mice
The protocol for feeding and care of diet-induced obese (DIO) C57BL/6J mice is as follows: Male mice are selected at random at 4 weeks of age and fed a 6% fat (wt/wt) chow diet (Lab Diet® 5k52). At six weeks of age, mice are placed in wean cages in groups of 10 and are fed either the study diet (Research Diets, Inc. D12492i, 60 kcal% fat) or the control diet (Research Diets, Inc. D12450Bi, 10 kcal% fat). Mice have ad libitum access to food and water. Mice are weighed at 6, 12 and 18 weeks of age primarily to acclimate them to handling. The mice are not individually identified. Please see the DIO fact sheet (PDF) for additional characterization information.
Mice are housed in MP-21. Click here to get the most recent health report for this room.
Ordering Information
To place an order for these mice, please send an e-mail to: DIOemail@jax.org.
Custom DIO and Additional Studies
If you need DIO mice using a different strain or gender than C57BL/6J males or need mice which are maintained using a different protocol than specified for DIO B6 Inventory mice (e.g. fed a different diet than Research Diets, Inc., D12492i, 60 kcal% fat), please send an e-mail describing your needs to jaxservices@jax.org. We will work with you to develop a custom DIO study to meet your needs.
Visit our DIO Services Web page for more information.
If you would like to purchase these mice and have us perform additional studies with them through our In Vivo Services group or to have the feeding and housing protocol modified, please contact your Regional Representative for a quotation. Please see the list of Efficacy Testing Services (PDF) provided by our In Vivo Services group.
