Body Composition and Telemetry in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Body composition (fat and muscle) of non-anesthetized mice was measured using the Bruker Minispec NMR analyzer (Bruker Optics). For activity and blood pressure measurements using telemetry, transmitters were implanted in 14 wk old mice and allowed to recover from the surgery for 2 wk. Blood pressure and physical activity were measured every 5 sec for 10 min (120 data points) at 3 a.m. (dark cycle) and 3 p.m. (light cycle), 3 d/wk for 5 wk.

High-Fat Diet and Exercise Effects on Metabolism

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the high-fat diet study, mice were fed a rodent diet with 60 kcal% fat (cat. #D12492, Research Diets) for 8 wk. After the 8 wk period, the mice were switched to a normal diet with or without exercise training for an additional 4 wk during which time body measurements were made. The body composition of non-anesthetized mice was measured using the Minispec NMR analyzer (Bruker). While monitoring food intake and activity, metabolism was measured in the mice by indirect calorimetry (O2 consumption and CO2 production) using a Comprehensive Lab Animal Monitoring System (Oxymax/CLAMS, Columbus Instruments, OH).

Body Composition and Metabolism Analysis

Body composition was assessed with the miniSpec NMR Analyzer (Bruker Optics, Billerica, MA, USA). For indirect caloric measurements, mice were individually housed in metabolic cages (LabMaster Home Cages System; TSE Systems, Chesterfield, MO, USA; or MK-5000RQ; Muromachi Kikai, Tokyo, Japan) for 2–3 d (20–22°C, 14 h light–10 h dark cycle). Mice were adapted to the metabolic cages for 2 d. Mice were provided with food and water ad libitum.

Quantifying Body Composition by NMR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fat mass and lean body mass were determined by NMR (Minispec NMR Analyzer; Bruker). In select experiments, at the time of euthanasia subcutaneous white adipose tissue (WAT) was quantified by determining the weight of the inguinal fat pad, and visceral WAT was quantified by determining the weight of the gonadal fat pad70 (link).

Body Composition and Skeletal Measurements

A Bruker Minispec NMR analyzer (Bruker Corp.) was used to measure body composition, which was determined every month starting 1 day before Tam treatment until the time of dissection (12 or 22 months of age), as previously described (Junnila et al., 2016 (link)). Body length was measured at the time of dissection from the tip of the nose to the anus. Femur length was measured using a digital caliper.

All animal studies were conducted under an animal protocol approved by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Animal Care and Use Committee. The rAAV-G6PC-S298C vector was infused into 2-week-old G6pc−/− mice via the retro-orbital sinus as described previously [2 (link)]. Age-matched G6pc+/+ and G6pc+/− mice with indistinguishable phenotype were used as controls. Body composition was assessed using the Bruker Minispec NMR analyzer (Karlsruhe, Germany). Liver samples from control and rAAVG6PC-S298C-treated mice were collected at sacrifice following 12 hours or 24 hours of fast. Hepatic levels of glucose, G6P, lactate, triglyceride, and glycogen were determined as described previously [3 (link)–5 (link)]. Insulin tolerance testing of mice consisted of a 4-hour fast, prior to blood sampling, followed by intraperitoneal injection of an insulin dose of 0.25 IU/kg, and repeated blood sampling via the tail vein for 1 hour.

Metabolic Profiling in Murine Liver

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Body composition was assessed using the Bruker minispec NMR analyzer (Karlsruhe, Germany). The presence of HCA nodules in mice was confirmed by histological analysis of liver biopsy samples, using 5 or more separate sections per liver. Blood levels of glucose along with hepatic levels of glucose, triglyceride, lactate, and G6P were determined as described previously [12 , 13 (link)]. Insulin tolerance testing of mice consisted of a 4-hour fast, prior to blood sampling, followed by intraperitoneal injection of insulin at 0.25 IU/kg, and repeated blood sampling via the tail vein for 1 hour [13 (link)].

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.
