Introducing our new model: DDC-induced liver injury model
We introduce the 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine (DDC)-induced liver injury model*, a well-known model of cholestatic liver disease and a new model we have started offering our services as.
Using the DDC-induced liver injury model, cholangitis and liver fibrosis can be assessed as follows.
As well as the DDC-induced liver injury model described above, we have also Concanavalin A and D-gal/LPS-induced acute hepatitis models, and NASH mouse models of the liver disease model mouse.

–Features of the DDC model mouse
Clerosing cholangitis and cholangiohepatic fibrosis following protoporphyrin accumulation in the bile ducts
High survival rates and reproducibility compared to the surgical BDL model
Reproducing the main histopathological features of human biliary stasis disease
