Adaptive Thermogenesis in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
During cold acclimation, mice were housed in groups of 2–3 individuals in type II cages (370 cm2, Tecniplast GmbH) with bedding material. Cages were transferred to a climate cabinet (HPP750life, Memmert GmbH + Co. KG) controlling ambient temperature and relative humidity. Mice were maintained in a 12 h light/dark cycle. Ambient temperature was decreased stepwise in weekly intervals from 23 °C to 18 °C, 15 °C, 10 °C and 5 °C. Cold exposure experiments started at the age of 10 weeks and lasted 4 weeks. Control mice were kept in a climate cabinet continuously maintained at 23 °C (HPP750life, Memmert GmbH + Co. KG).
The β3-adrenergic receptor agonist CL316,243 (Tocris, Bio-Techne GmbH) was injected intraperitoneally in mice at 13 weeks of age for 5 consecutive days at a daily dose of 1.0 mg/kg. Controls received vehicle injections with saline solution (0.9% NaCl, B. Braun Melsungen AG). Two days after the last CL316,243 injection, LUC bioluminescence was imaged in anesthetized mice. Afterwards mice were killed and tissues dissected for further analyses.

All of the animal studies were conducted with approved protocols from the Danish Animal Experiments Inspectorate (permit numbers 2014-15-0201-00181 and 2015-15-0201-00728) and the University of Copenhagen (project numbers P14-379, P16-010, and P16-021). Male wild-type C57Bl/6NRj mice (Janvier) were used for cold exposure studies. Prior to the experimental procedures, the mice were group housed and acclimatized to our housing unit on a 12:12 h light/dark cycle (lights on at 6:00 and off at 18:00) with ad libitum access to chow food (1310, Altromin) and water. For cold exposure experiments, 12- to 16-week-old mice were individually housed and placed in climate-controlled rodent incubators (HPP750Life, Memmert) at 29 °C to acclimate to thermoneutrality for three weeks. Experimental groups were then moved to an incubator set to 5 °C and kept for 3, 8, 24 h, 1, and 3 weeks until dissection (n = 5 was used per time point). The mice were euthanized by neck dislocation; scWAT, BAT, and vWAT were collected at dissection and immediately snap frozen in liquid nitrogen, fixed in 4% formalin for histology (see the method section on immunohistochemistry), or digested to obtain the stroma-vascular fraction (SVF) and mature adipocyte fraction (MAF) of scWAT (see the Methods section on digestion of the whole scWAT for isolation of SVF and MAF).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole‐body Mb‐KO mice on the NMRI background were previously generated29, 49 and bred at the Sächsische Inkubator für Klinische Translation (SIKT), Leipzig. NMRI WT controls were obtained from Janvier (Saint Berthevin, France), and kept in the local animal house for one week for acclimatization. C57BL/6N mice were bred at the SIKT, Leipzig. All mice were housed in pathogen‐free facilities (3‐5 mice per group and cage) at 23°C on a 12 h light/dark cycle, as indicated. All mice were fed a standard chow diet (EV153, 3.3% from fat, Ssniff®, Soest, Germany) and had ad libitum access to water and food, except when indicated. Male NMRI WT and Mb‐KO mice (10‐12 weeks of age) were then adapted to single housing and subsequently housed in a climate chamber at either 30°C, 23°C or 8°C, respectively, for one week. Body temperature was measured after 5 days. After 7 days, BAT and tail surface temperatures were measured by thermal imaging (VarioCAM® hr, Infratec, Dresden, Germany) as previously described.52 Acute cold‐tolerance test was done with single‐housed mice, which were transferred from 30°C to a climate chamber (Memmert HPP750 life) at 8°C for 6 h and rectal body temperature was measured every hour.

Eight-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were housed in climate cabinets (HPP750 life, Memmert) at 23°C and 55% humidity with a 12/12 h light/dark cycle. Mice were provided ad libitum access to water and a control diet (Ssniff, Cat# S5745-E720). After an adaptation phase of 3 weeks, mice were assigned to one of two groups and transferred to preconditioned cabinets at 5 or 30°C. After 1 week, mice were killed by CO2 exposure and tissues were immediately dissected, snap frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at −80°C until further processing. The experiment was performed according to the German animal welfare law with permission from the district government of Upper Bavaria (Regierung von Oberbayern, reference number ROB-55.2-2532.Vet_02-16-166).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Heterozygous UCP-1 mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory (stock #003124) and used for breeding of UCP-1 knock-out (KO) mice. Male and female wild-type (WT) and UCP-1 KO littermates were used for all experiments on UCP-1 deficiency. Breeding occurred at regular housing temperature (23°C), and offspring were weaned at postnatal day 21. After weaning, mice were housed with same-sex littermates either at regular housing temperature (23°C) or at thermoneutrality (29°C) using an environmental chamber (HPP750life, Memmert) for temperature control. All mice were maintained at a regular 12 h light/dark cycle (lights on at 8:00 A.M.) and food (regular chow diet) and water available were ad libitum unless indicated otherwise. For FGF-21 overexpression experiments, C5BL6/N mice were purchased from Charles River. All animal experiments were conducted in agreement with the ARRIVE (Animal Research: Reporting of In Vivo Experiments) guidelines and the U.K. Animals (Scientific Procedures Act, 1986) and associated guidelines (EU Directive 2010/63/EU for animal experiments) and were approved by the national ethical committee on animal care and use (Bundesministerium für Wissenschaft und Forschung: BMBWF-66.009/0175-V/3b/2019).
