- Abstract
Metabolic diseases such as hyperlipoidemia, atherosclerosis, and osteoporosis have seriously threatened human health. The shape, physiological function and biochemical metabolism of the tree shrew arc extremely similar to those of mankind. The distinctive property of the tree shrew in the lipid metabolism is likely to have obvious advantage in the research of metabolic diseases. This paper reviews the progresses the use of the tree shrew in metabolic diseases in recent years, aiming at demonstrating various types of metabolic diseases in tree shrew models, and further providing a reference for later research of bone metabolic diseases.
