Caenorhabditis elegans as a model for obesity research
Zheng et al. 2011
Review Article
"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."
"Despite the continued need of rodent experiments, these attributes make studies of C. elegans an excellent transition from in vitro methods into higher animal models, then into humans in a more efficient and much less expensive manner."
