Sprague Dawley Rats in Behavioral Testing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Male Sprague Dawley rats were purchased from Envigo Laboratories (Indianapolis, IN). Rats were maintained in standard rodent plastic shoebox cages until at least 1 week before behavioral testing, at which time they were singly housed in hanging wire-mesh stainless steel cages affixed with an electrically isolated metal plate with 3.2 mm openings through which rats need to lick to reach a spout on the other side. Rats had ad libitum access to food (Teklad 2018; Envigo Laboratories) tap water, and were also given a second bottle containing 1.5% saline for at least a week before the start of experiments, and throughout the entire experiment. The temperature- and humidity-controlled colony rooms were maintained on a 12:12 h light-dark cycle. All experiments occurred during the early portion of the light phase. All experimental protocols were approved by the University at Buffalo Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, and the handling and care of the animals was in accordance with the NIH Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals.

Murine Model of Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All studies were approved by the University of Southern California Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee and conducted following the NIH Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. Breeder pairs of NOD.129(B6)‐Prkdcscid Iduatm1Clk mice heterozygous for the IDUA mutation (#004083) were obtained from The Jackson Laboratory (The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME, www.jax.org/), housed under specific‐pathogen‐free conditions and provided with standard chow (TEKLAD #2018, Envigo, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, UK, www.envigo.com) and sterile/acidified water. Homozygous knockout (MPS1) mice start to develop disease phenotype including flattened facial profile, broadened head, thickened digits at 3 weeks of age. Severe phenotypes such as defective bone formation and broadening of the zygomatic bone have established by 8 weeks 34 (Supporting Information Fig. S2A). PCR‐based genotyping was performed with specific primers according to the Jackson Laboratory's instructions.

Long Evans Rat Housing and Care

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Adult female Long Evans rats (Envigo) were used throughout the experiments. Rats were between 75 and 120 days of age at the start of the experiments. Rats were singly housed in modified shoebox cages (two external lick blocks) with ad libitum access to food (Teklad 2018; Envigo), tap water, and 1.5% saline solution (Experiment 1b) unless otherwise noted. The temperature- and humidity-controlled colony rooms were maintained on a 12:12 h light-dark cycle (lights on at 0100 h Experiment 1, 2, & 3; lights on at 0700 h Experiment 4). All experimental protocols were approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee at the University of Kentucky, and the handling and care of the rats was in accordance with the National Institute of Health Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals.

Adult male Wistar rats (220–250 g starting bodyweight, Harlan, San Diego, CA and Envigo, Tampa, FL) were individually housed at 22°C under a 12-h light-dark cycle with ad libitum access to water and either chow (3.1 kcal/g, Teklad 2018, Envigo, Sommerset, NJ) or HFHS diet (45% calories from fat; 4.7 kcal/g, Research Diets D12451, New Brunswink, NJ), unless stated otherwise. Animals were allowed one week to acclimate before any experiments were started. All experiments were approved by the University of Florida, and John B.

Wistar Rat Habituation and Feeding Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Male (n = 16) and female (n = 14) Wistar rats (weighing 200–224 g for females and 250–274 g for males and matched for age at arrival) from Envigo Inc. (Madison, WI, United States) were used as subjects. Rats were initially housed in pairs in plastic home cages for a minimum of 3 days to allow for habituation to the facility. Food (Teklad 2018, Envigo Inc.) and water were available ad libitum during habituation. At the start of the experiment, rats were housed individually in experimental chambers. Rooms were maintained at 24° C and 40–50% humidity. All experiments occurred during the light cycle with a 12 h on/12 h off cycle (lights on at 600). Access to water was ad libitum during the experiments, but food was limited to 16 g for female rats and 20 g for male rats and was given 4 h after session conclusion. All experimental details were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at the University of Minnesota and performed in compliance with the Guide for the Care and Use of Animals (National Research Council, 2011 ). Research facilities were accredited by the American Association for the Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care.

Behavioral Characterization of S426A/S430A Mutant Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
This study was performed using 235 experimentally naïve male S426A/S430A mutant (n = 115) and wild-type (n = 120), 8-12-week-old, littermate-controlled mice on a C57BL/6 background. The generation of S426A/S430A mutant mice has been described previously (Morgan et al., 2014 (link)). After weaning, mice were group housed, with a standard 12:12h light/dark cycle (lights on at 07:00, lights off at 19:00). Mice were provided with ad libitum access to standard rodent chow (Teklad 2018, Envigo, Indianapolis, IN) and water. All animal care procedures were performed in accordance with the Guidelines of the National Institutes of Health on the Care and Use of Animals and with approval from the Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC).

Generation and Characterization of Transgenic Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
WT/SAVI(N153S) mice were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory. HAQ, AQ mice were previously generated in the lab 33 (link),34 (link). The Q293 mice were generated by Cyagen Biosciences. Briefly, the linearized targeting vector was transfected into JM8A3.N1 C57BL/6N embryonic stem cells. A positive embryonic stem clone was subjected to the generation of chimera mice by injection using C57BL/6J blastocysts as the host. Successful germline transmission was confirmed by PCR sequencing. The heterozygous mice were bred to Actin-flpase mice [The Jackson Laboratory, B6.Cg-Tg (ACTFLPe)9205Dym/J] to remove the neo gene and make the Q293 knock-in mouse. Age- and gender-matched mice (2 – 6 month old, both male and female) were used for indicated experiments. WT/SAVI (male) x WT/HAQ (female), WT/SAVI (male) x WT/AQ (female) breeders were set up to generate HAQ/SAVI, AQ/SAVI mice. Mice were housed at 22°C under a 12‐h light‐dark cycle with ad libitum access to water and a chow diet (3.1 kcal/g, Teklad 2018, Envigo, Sommerset, NJ) and bred under pathogen-free conditions in the Animal Research Facility at the University of Florida. Littermates of the same sex were randomly assigned to experimental groups. All mouse experiments were performed by the regulations and approval of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at the University of Florida, IACUC202200000058.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Adult, male Wistar rats (n = 20; 200–224 g upon receipt; Envigo, Indianapolis, IN) were used exclusively to limit additional hormonal variability. Rats were randomized and remained on a standard laboratory diet (STD; Teklad 2018, 6.2% kcal from fat, 4.00 kcal/g; Envigo) or fed a Western HFD (HFD; 60% kcal from fat, 5.13 kcal/g; Research Diets, New Brunswick, NJ) beginning 1 week before assignment into the experimental groups in order to acclimate to the novel diet. Animals were initially housed 2 per cage on a 12-h light/dark cycle with food and water provided ad libitum and were housed singly with environmental enrichment after the first surgical procedure.

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.
