The development of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis is subjected to breeder dependent variation in guinea pigs
Abstract Variability in disease development due to differences in strains and breeders constitutes a substantial challenge in preclinical research. However, the impact of the breeder on non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is not yet fully elucidated. This retrospective study investigates NASH devel...

This retrospective study investigates NASH development in guinea pigs from Charles River or Envigo fed a high fat diet (20% fat, 15% sucrose, 0.35% cholesterol) for 16 or 24/25 weeks. Charles River animals displayed more severe NASH, with higher steatosis (p < 0.05 at week 16), inflammation (p < 0.05 at both week), fibrosis (p < 0.05 at week 16) and disease activity (p < 0.05 at both weeks).

Abstract Variability in disease development due to differences in strains and breeders constitutes a substantial challenge in preclinical research. However, the impact of the breeder on non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is not yet fully elucidated.

Charles River animals displayed more severe NASH, with higher steatosis (p < 0.05 at week 16), inflammation (p < 0.05 at both week), fibrosis (p < 0.05 at week 16) and disease activity (p < 0.05 at both weeks).
