Metabolic Profiling in Mice

Intraperitoneal glucose (2 g/kg for chow-fed mice, 1 g/kg for HFD-fed mice, with AUC calculated from 0 mg/dl) tolerance tests were performed at 1200, following a 4 hour fast. Glucose was measured with a Glucometer Contour (Bayer, Mishawaka, IN). Liver triglyceride was measured as glycerol after KOH hydrolysis (Cayman Chemical, #10010755). Serum was collected at 0900 by tail bleed 2 days before euthanasia for fed glucose, Insulin, FFA, cholesterol, and triglycerides measurement. Serum for other measurements was taken from anesthetized (100 mg/kg ketamine and 10 mg/kg xylazine, ip) mice by retro-orbital bleed at euthanasia and frozen until assayed using the following colorimetric assays: Free fatty acids (Roche Diagnostics Gmbh, Mannheim, Germany), triglycerides (Pointe Scientific Inc., Canton, MI), cholesterol (Thermo Scientific, Middletown, VA), and β-hydroxybutyrate (BioVision, Milpitas, CA). Insulin (Millipore, St. Charles, MO) was measured by RIA. Leptin (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN), adiponectin (ALPCO, Salem, NH), fibroblast growth factor 21 (Millipore), free T3 and free T4 (Eagle Biosciences, Nashua, NH) were measured by ELISA.

Blood from retro-orbital bleeding was put in BD Microtainer Serum Separator Tubes (Becton, Dickinson and Company, Franklin Lakes, NJ), allowed to clot for 10 minutes at room temperature, spun at 10,000 rpm for 6 minutes, and serum was frozen until assayed. Free fatty acids (Roche Diagnostics Gmbh, Mannheim, Germany), triglycerides (Pointe Scientific Inc., Canton, MI), cholesterol (Thermo Scientific, Middletown, VA), β-hydroxybutyrate (BioVision, Milpitas, CA), and D-lactate (BioVision, Milpitas, CA) were measured by colorimetric assays. Serum glucose was measured by Glucometer Contour. Insulin (Millipore, St. Charles, MO), adiponectin (Millipore, St. Charles, MO), Insulin-like growth factor 1 (ALPCO, Salem, NH), T3 (DiaSorin Inc, Stillwater, MN), and T4 (DiaSorin Inc, Stillwater, MN) were measured by RIA. Leptin (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) and fibroblast growth factor 21 (Millipore, St. Charles, MO) were measured by ELISA. All assays were conducted as per manufacturer's protocol.

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.
