Mol. Nutr. Food Res . 2020, 64 , 2000249 DOI: 10.1002/mnfr.202000249 Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a serious health condition that has been reaching epidemic proportions worldwide. Due to the lack of suitable treatment for this syndrome, optimized pre‐clinical models are needed to develop new therapeutic strategies. This review presents an updated discussion concerning the experimental protocols used to induce MetS in rodents and critically evaluates what we have learned from them. This is reported by Bianca F. Leonardi, Grace Gosmann, and Aline R. Zimmer in article 2000249.
