摘要：Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)research often relies on animal models to study the etiology,pathophysiology,and management of IBD.Among these models,rats and mice are frequently employed due to their practicality and genetic manipulability.However,for studies aiming to closely mimic human pathology,non-human primates such as monkeys and dogs offer valuable physiological parallels.Guinea pigs,while less commonly used,present unique advantages for investigating the intricate interplay between neurological and immunological factors in IBD.Additionally,New Zealand rabbits excel in endoscopic biopsy techniques,providing insights into mucosal inflammation and healing processes.Pigs,with their physiological similarities to humans,serve as ideal models for exploring the complex relationships between nutrition,metabolism,and immunity in IBD.Beyond mammals,non-mammalian organisms including zebrafish,Drosophila melanogaster,and nematodes offer specialized insights into specific aspects of IBD pathology,highlighting the diverse array of model systems available for advancing our understanding of this multifaceted disease.In this review,we conduct a thorough analysis of various animal models employed in IBD research,detailing their applications and essential experimental parameters.These include clinical observation,Disease Activity Index score,pathological assessment,intestinal barrier integrity,fibrosis,inflammatory markers,intestinal microbiome,and other critical parameters that are crucial for evaluating modeling success and drug efficacy in experimental mammalian studies.Overall,this review will serve as a valuable resource for researchers in the field of IBD,offering insights into the diverse array of animal models available and their respective applications in studying IBD.
