Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The rat was anesthetized with pentobarbital sodium (50 mg/kg, i.p.) and placed in a stereotaxic apparatus. A craniotomy over the right amygdala was performed and a guide cannula (outer diameter: 0.64 mm; inner diameter: 0.45 mm) was implanted on the dorsal margin of the CeA, using the following coordinates (in mm): 2.5 caudal to bregma; 4.0 lateral to midline; depth, 7.5. The cannula was fixed to the skull with dental acrylic. The behavioral tests were carried out 5 days after the surgery. For drug application, a microinjection tubing probe was inserted through the guide cannula so that the probe protruded by 1 mm. The probe was connected to a PE-10 polyethylene tube filled with dissolved drug solution. The drug solution was pushed into the brain tissue by injecting 1μl air into the polyethylene tube with a microsyringe. Then the polyethylene tube was heat sealed and the probe was left in place for 10 min before the behavioral tests. The following drugs were used: Tempol, baicalein, apocynin (Tocris). Drugs were dissolved in DMSO (30% in deionized water) and diluted in ACSF (containing [in mM] 117 NaCl, 4.7 KCl, 1.2 NaH2PO4, 2.5 CaCl2, 1.2 MgCl2, 25 NaHCO3 and 11 glucose) at 1:100 to their final concentration for injection into the amygdala.

Tempol: A Powerful Antioxidant in Neuroscience

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (tempol, membrane-permeable ROS scavenger, superoxide dismutase mimetic; purchased from Tocris Bioscience) [34 (link);43 (link)] was used in this study. tempol was dissolved in water for stock solutions and diluted in ACSF to the final concentration on the day of the experiment (100-fold that predicted to be needed based on data from our previous studies [29 (link);44 (link)]). Drug concentration in the tissue is at least 100 times lower than in the microdialysis probe as a result of the concentration gradient across the dialysis membrane and diffusion in the tissue. Numbers in the text refer to drug concentrations in the microdialysis fiber.

Thymuses from untreated and SL-TBI treated mice were harvested and enzymatically digested and stained from flow cytometry analysis of thymocyte populations as above. Further analysis of mitochondrial bioenergetics were assessed using TMRE (Abcam, ab113852), MitoTracker Green FM (Invitrogen, M7514), MitoSOX Red Mitochondrial Superoxide Indicator (ThermoFisher, M36008), and Intracellular glutathione (GSH) Detection Assay Kit (Abcam, ab112132). Thymocytes were isolated from untreated and TBI-treated mice and intracellular pyruvate and lactate levels were measured by absorbance using Pyruvate Assay kit (Abcam, ab65342) or Lactate-Glo Assay (Promega, J5021). Thymocytes were isolated from untreated and TBI-treated mice and incubated in RPMI with 5 mM sodium pyruvate (Gibco, 11360070) for 3 h at 37 °C and stained for flow cytometry analysis and cl-caspase 1 levels. Cells were further incubated with 5 mM sodium pyruvate plus 200 μM α-ketobutyrate (Sigma-Aldrich) or 100 μM TEMPOL (Tocris, 3082) for 3 h and cells were prepared for flow cytometry analysis.

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.
