Osteoporosis Research – Animal Models is a reference book of the major animal models used in the study of Osteoporosis. Use of animal models provides important knowledge about pathological conditions that can eventually lead to the development of more effective clinical treatment of diseases in both humans and animals. This book is directed primarily toward endocrinologists, rheumatologists, geriatricians, gerontologists, bone biologists, investigators, research fellows, graduate students, and those working in osteoporosis research. This book is intended to serve as a basis for a literature search before embarking on a detailed research project.

Osteoporosis Research – Animal Models includes the most up-to-date and practical information to guide the investigator on the most appropriate mouse model to test the hypothesis. This book is written by investigators within the field of bone research who have published extensively on their own developed or commonly used animal models for osteoporosis. The institutions where the authors are affiliated are highly recognized as the main centers in bone research.
