Canine Insulin and Glucose Measurement

In both experiments, corrected blood samples were placed in chilled polyethylene terephthalate tubes containing EDTA-2Na and aprotinin (NT-EA0205, Nipro, Tokyo, Japan) to prevent the
deterioration of insulin activity. Plasma was separated by centrifugation (4°C, 1,000 g, 15 min) and stored at −80°C until assayed. Plasma insulin concentrations were determined using a
validated sandwich ELISA kit (Mercodia Canine Insulin ELISA; Mercodia, Inc., Uppsala, Sweden), which can determine canine insulin concentrations from 0.02 to 1.5
ng/ml. Plasma glucose concentrations were determined with dry-slide technology using a multilayered analytical film (Fuji DRI-CHEM, Fujifilm, Tokyo,
Japan).

Serum triglyceride and total cholesterol levels were measured (FUJI DRI-CHEM; Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan). Urinary glucose levels were measured using a blood glucose meter (Abbott, Japan). Urinary creatinine levels were measured using a LabAssay Creatinine Kit (Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Corporation, Osaka, Japan). Urinary protein levels were measured using a Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). The insulin in the serum and the liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) in the urine and serum were measured in duplicate using a commercially available enzyme-linked immunoassay kit (#10-1247-01; Mercodia AB, Uppsala, Sweden, and RFBP10; R&D system, Minneapolis, MN, USA).

Whole blood samples were centrifuged (4000 revolutions per min) for 20 min at 4 °C, and the supernatants were collected and stored at −30 °C. Subsequently, the supernatants were tested using a serum multiple biochemical analyzer (Fuji Drichem; Fuji Film Inc., Tokyo, Japan). The human albumin level in the rat blood was assessed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (Bethyl Laboratories, Montgomery, TX, United States), according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Postprandial Blood Glucose Measurement

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Capillary blood glucose levels were measured once at each visit using the glucose–oxidase method (Fuji DRI‐CHEM; Fuji Film, Tokyo, Japan), regardless of fasting or postprandial status, and are expressed as plasma equivalents. At each visit, a clinical laboratory technician checked the time when the patients began to eat their final meal, and recorded the postprandial time interval in 15‐min units. Blood glucose levels measured at 1–2 h after breakfast and after lunch, those after breakfast, and those after lunch were defined as 1–2 h post‐breakfast and post‐lunch blood glucose (1–2h‐PBLBG) levels, 1–2 h post‐breakfast blood glucose (1–2h‐PBBG) levels, and 1–2 h post‐lunch blood glucose (1–2h‐PLBG) levels, respectively. Intrapersonal mean 1–2h‐PBLBG, 1–2h‐PBBG and 1–2h‐PLBG levels during 2 years from the first visit were used as baseline data.

Evaluating Liver Injury Markers

Normal ranges for human of ALT and LDH were 6-30 U/l and 119-229 U/l, respectively. In this study, we calculated ALT/LDH ratio with the following formula: ALT/LDH ratio=(serum ALT-ULN)/(serum LDH-ULN), where ULN stands for the upper limit of normal.
Blood samples of mice were withdrawn from the tail vein 6 h after the injection of ConA or TNFα. Serum levels of ALT, LDH, and fibrin degradation products (FDP) for mice were measured using chemical analyzer Fuji DRI-CHEM (Fuji Film) and FDP-ELISA kit (MyBioSource), respectively.

Metabolic Assessment of Mice under Pharmacological Intervention

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole-body energy expenditure of mice was assessed with a metabolic chamber (ARCO2000-RAT/ANI System; Arco) as described previously (23 (link)). Mice were injected intraperitoneally with vehicle (saline) or CL316243 at a dose of 0.01 mg/kg during the measurements. The respiratory quotient (VCO2/VO2) was calculated based on Weir (25 (link)). Spontaneous activity of the mice was simultaneously measured with an activity sensor (NS-AS01; Neuroscience). All measurements were performed at 4.5-min intervals.
For the glucose tolerance test, mice were injected with glucose 1 g/kg i.p. after a 6-h fast. An insulin tolerance test was performed by injecting insulin 0.75 units/kg after an overnight fast. Blood glucose levels were measured with blood glucose test strips (Arkary) postinjection at 15, 30, 60, and 120 min. Fasting plasma glucose levels were determined with FUJI DRI-CHEM (Fujifilm). Plasma insulin levels were measured with a commercially available ELISA (Morinaga). Plasma triglyceride (TG) levels were measured with a Wako TG test kit. Total liver lipids were extracted with a chloroform:methanol mixture (2:1 volume for volume) as described by Folch et al. (26 (link)). The liver TG concentration in the lipid extracts was also measured with the Wako TG test.

Whole-blood samples were centrifuged for 10 min at 4 °C and 1200×g. Supernatants were collected and stored at −80 °C until further testing using a serum multiple biochemical analyzer (Fuji Drichem; Fujifilm Inc., Tokyo, Japan) to measure the aspartate transaminase, alanine aminotransaminase, ammonia, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (gGTP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), total and direct bilirubin, and albumin levels.

Blood samples were collected every 2 weeks, and then plasma or serum was extracted. ALT activity was measured by Fuji DRI-CHEM (Fuji FILM, Tokyo, Japan). Blood h-Alb levels were measured by immunonephelometry in a JEOL BM6050 autoanalyzer (JEOL, Tokyo, Japan) using LZ Reagent Eiken Alb II (Eiken Chemical, Tokyo, Japan). The plasma or serum levels of h-ALT1 and mouse M2BP level were measured according to the manufacturer’s protocols by using h-ALT1 ELISA kit (PhoenixBio, Co., Ltd., Higashihiroshima, Japan) [34 (link)] and Mac-2 Binding Protein assay kit (IBL Co., LTD., Fujioka, Japan), respectively.

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.
