RNA was isolated from tissue flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen using an RNAeasy mini kit (QIAGEN) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. A deoxyribonuclease (QIAGEN) step to digest the genomic DNA was included. cDNA was made from isolated RNA using oligo(dt) and random hexamer primers and reverse transcriptase (QuantiTech RT kit; QIAGEN). Quantitative PCR was performed using the 7800HT (Applied Biosystems) thermal cycler and SYBR Green master mix (Applied Biosystems). Relative mRNA abundance was calculated and normalized to levels of TATA box-binding protein. Primers are available in Suppl. Table 2.

Mice were assigned to the following experimental groups, with n = 6 in each group: lean PBS-treated mice, lean TDCA/valine-treated mice, DIO-obese PBS-treated mice, DIO-obese PBS-treated mice fasted for 12 hr before tissue procurement, DIO-obese TDCA/valine-treated mice, DIO-obese TDCA/valine-treated mice fasted for 12 hr before tissue procurement, DIO-obese mice undergoing sleeve gastrectomy. Cage beddings were pooled and redistributed at days −6, –4, and −2 to normalize microbial flora among experimental groups. At day 0, treatment began and SGx were performed. Mice were treated for 13 days, with procurement of tissues performed on day 14. Animals were anesthetized with ketamine and sacrificed by decapitation. Brains were removed, and hypothalamus tissue was dissected and flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen. RNA was isolated using Direct-zol RNA MiniPrep kit (Zymo Research, Irvine, CA). cDNA was made from isolated RNA using oligo (dt), random hexamer primers, and reverse transcriptase QuantiTech RT Kit (Qiagen, Germantown, MD). Quantitative PCR was performed using the 7800HT (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) thermal cycler and SYBR Green master mix (Applied Biosystems). Relative mRNA abundance was calculated and normalized to levels of the housekeeping gene cyclophilin A.

Total RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Mini kit including an on-column DNA digest (Qiagen, Manchester, UK). From 500 to 800 ng total RNA was converted into cDNA using the QuantiTech-RT kit (Qiagen, Manchester, UK). A total of 10 μg of cDNA was used to detect sequence-specific amplicons using the primer sets summarised in Table 1. qPCR reactions were carried out with the SyGreen Blue Hi-ROX master mix (PCRBiosystems, Highgate, UK) and run in a StepOnePlusTM Real-time PCR system. Cycling conditions were: 95 °C for 2 min, and 40 cycles of denaturation at 95 °C for 5 s and annealing at 60 °C for 30 s. Gene expression relative to 18S RNA was determined using the Pfaffl method that incorporates the amplicon specific PCR efficiencies (E) estimated by cDNA dilution series [63 (link)] (1): Fold-change=EtargetCt target ControlSampleEreference 18SCt reference ControlSample

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.
