High-Fat Diet Induces Colon Changes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In all studies, C57BL/6 male and female mice (Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME, USA) were given water and chow ad libitum. High fat diet (HFD, 60% of calories from fat, TD.09766) and an isocaloric low fat diet (16.8% of calories from fat, TD.08810) were purchased from Envigo, Inc. (Indianapolis, IN, USA). For the HFD studies, six 6-week-old male mice were placed in each group and maintained on the diets for a total of 18 weeks. At 18 weeks colons were isolated, snap-frozen, and homogenized for analysis. All animal procedures were approved by the Ralph H Johnson VA Medical Center and Medical University of South Carolina Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUC) and all studies conducted were based on NIH and the American Veterinary Medical Association guidelines.

Habituation of C57Bl/6 Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Adult (8 weeks) C57Bl/6 male and female mice were used (Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME, USA). Mice were group-housed per sex in our facility (four to five mice/cage unless specified otherwise) and maintained on a 12-h reverse light-dark cycle with food and water ad libitum. Animals were allowed 1 week of habituation to our facility before beginning experiments. All procedures were approved by the Office of Responsible Research Practices of the researchers’ institution and conformed to the U.S. National Institutes of Health Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals.

Transgenic Mouse Model Husbandry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
C57Bl/6 male and female mice (2–6 months of age, n = 110) were purchased from Jackson Labs (Bar Harbor, ME). All animals were acclimated in a colony room at a constant temperature (21–23°C) and humidity (45–50%) on a 12-:12-hour light-dark cycle (lights on 6:00 am–6:00 pm) and housed five per cage with chow and water ad libitum. Male and female 3XTg-AD [19] (link) transgenic mice were purchased from Jackson Labs and maintained (n = 36 animals including wild-type siblings) through a breeding program at University of Texas Medical Branch. The study was approved by the University of Texas Medical Branch Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee as per the National Institutes of Health Guidelines [23] on the use of laboratory animals.

All animal experiments were conducted in accordance with the “Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals of US National Institutes of Health”. The experimental protocols were reviewed and approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of the University of Missouri, Columbia, MO, United States (protocol number 9227). Six-week-old C57BL/6 male and female mice were purchased from Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME, United States), and were housed under standard laboratory conditions (22 ± 1°C, 12:12-h light/dark cycle).

C57BL/6 male and female mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME) and were approved for use by the Virginia Commonwealth University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC #AM10340). NIH guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals (NIH Publication #85-23 Rev. 1985) were observed.

Conditional BMPRII Knockout in Mouse DG

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All animal procedures were performed in accordance with the Public Health Service Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals and were approved by the Northwestern University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. Eight to ten week old C57Bl/6 male and female mice (Jackson Laboratory) were used for antidepressant treatment experiments as well as DG virus injection experiments. For antidepressant and virus injection experiments, animals were allocated to experimental groups by randomly assigning each cage to an experimental treatment. BMPRII floxed mice (BMPRIIfx/fx)22 (link) were mated to mice containing tamoxifen-inducible Cre recombinase under the control of the Ascl1 promoter (Ascl1-CreER™)23 (link). To monitor Cre expression, these mice were crossed with Rosa-CAG-LSL-ZsGreen1 mice (RosaZG/ZG, Jackson Laboratory)24 (link). Tamoxifen-induced ablation of BMPRII was performed at 8–10 weeks of age in BMPRIIfx/fx; Ascl1-CreER™; RosaZG/ZG mice. BMPRII+/+; Ascl1-CreER™; RosaZG/ZG littermates were used as controls. All mice were housed 3–5 per cage under a 14:10 hour light:dark cycle with ad libitum access to food and water.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Celiac Ganglia

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For immunohistochemical analysis of celiac ganglia and spleen sections, a total of 7 adult (3–5 months old) male and female transgenic B6·Cg-Tg(RP23–268L19 EGFP)2Mik/J (RRID: IMSR_JAX:007902), also known as ChATBAC-eGFP mice (The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME, USA) were used. We previously established that these transgenic mice express green fluorescent protein (GFP) in most cholinergic neurons and nerve fibers of the periphery and can therefore be used to easily locate and dissect the celiac ganglion based on preganglionic cholinergic innervation (Brown et al., 2018 (link)). After familiarization with the location of the celiac ganglion, the study was continued with 16 adult (3–10 month old) C57BL/6 male and female mice (The Jackson Laboratory) and one additional transgenic mouse. Animal protocols were approved by the East Tennessee State University Animal Care and Use Committee and conformed to guidelines of the National Institutes of Health as published in the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (Eighth Edition, National Academy of Sciences, 2011).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
