For blood analysis, plasmas were diluted twice and analysis following manufacturer’s instructions using the mouse V-PLEX Proinflammatory Panel 1 Kit (Meso Scale Discovery, # K15048D) on a QuickPlex SQ 120 apparatus (Meso Scale Discovery).
For tissue analysis, proteins were extracted from frozen organs using an ULTRA TURRAX T25 (Ika, Germany) and lysis buffer (25 mM Tris-Cl (pH 7.4), 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, 0.5% Nonidet P40 and protease inhibitors (Roche Diagnostics, Meylan, France)). Protein concentration was evaluated by BCA assay (Sigma-Aldrich Chimie, Saint-Quentin Fallavier, France). 10 µg proteins were used to evaluate cytokine concentration using the same kit and apparatus as those used for blood cytokine analysis.

For blood analysis, freshly prepared plasmas were diluted twice before analysis. For tissue analysis, freshly sampled WAT and BAT were washed in PBS, weighed and incubated in free DMEM (Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium) for 2 hours at 37°C. Media were kept for various analyses of secreted proteins.
Leptin and cytokines were assayed using “Mouse Leptin Kit” (Meso Scale Discovery, # K152BYC) and “mouse V-PLEX Proinflammatory Panel 1 Kit” (Meso Scale Discovery, # K15048D) respectively, on a QuickPlex SQ 120 apparatus (Meso Scale Discovery) following manufacturer’s instructions. IL-1RA levels were assayed using mouse IL-1RA Elisa kit (#EMIL1RN) from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Courtaboeuf, France). Glycerol and triglycerides determinations were performed using dedicated kit (Free Glycerol reagent and Triglyceride reagent, Sigma Aldrich).

For blood analysis, freshly prepared plasma was diluted twice before analysis. For tissue analysis, freshly sampled WAT and BAT were washed in PBS, weighed and incubated in free Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium for 2 hours at 37°C. The media were preserved for analysis of various secreted proteins.
Leptin was assayed using a mouse leptin kit (Meso Scale Discovery, # K152BYC), and cytokines were measured using a mouse V-PLEX pro-inflammatory panel 1 kit (# K15048D) according to the manufacturer's instructions using a QuickPlex SQ 120 apparatus (Meso Scale Discovery, Rockville, Maryland, USA). IL-1RA levels were assayed using a mouse IL-1RA
ELISA kit (#EMIL1RN) from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Courtaboeuf, France). Glycerol and triglyceride determinations were performed using a dedicated kit (free glycerol reagent and triglyceride reagent, Sigma Aldrich).

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.
