Serum Glucose, Insulin, and HOMA-IR Determination

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood was drawn from the antecubital vein, after a fasting period of 12 h. Serum glucose was determined by enzymatic photometric tests (Glucose GOD FS, DiaSys Diagnostic Systems GmbH) in an automated analyzer (Vitalab Selectra E, Vitalab Scientific). Serum insulin levels were determined by an immunoassay method (Adaltis Diagnostics) using an Eclectica analyzer (Adaltis Diagnostics). The cut-off point of 14.38 was considered for abnormal insulin levels since it has been proven to have an adequate performance to diagnose metabolic syndrome for a similar population to our sample [27 (link)].
The homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated using the formula [28 (link)]: [fasting insulin (µU/mL)*fasting glucose (mg/dL)]/405. Two validated cut-off points were used to diagnose insulin resistance: HOMA-IR > 3.16 as proposed by Keskin et al. in 2005, which has been widely used in epidemiological studies [29 (link)], and HOMA-IR > 2.97 proposed by Piña-Aguero et al. in 2018 as a valid cut-off for insulin resistance in Mexican adolescents [27 (link)].

Metabolic Assessment of Offspring

At PND60, blood samples (300 µL) were collected from 6 h fasted offspring. An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed in offspring at PND61 and PND62. Following 6 hours of fasting, all rats received a 2 g/kg BW dose of glucose by gavage. Blood samples (100 µL) were collected to determine plasma insulin concentration before (T0) and after 15 (T15) and 30 min (T30) gavage with glucose. Blood glucose was measured at T0, T15, T30, T45, T60, T90, and T120 after glucose intake, using a Performa Accu-Chek® glucometer (Roche Diabetes Care France, Meylan, France).
Insulin (Rat Insulin ELISA kit®, ALPCO, Salem, USA), glucose (Glucose GOD FS®, DiaSys, Holzheim, Germany), triglycerides (Triglycerides FS®, DiaSys, Holzheim, Germany), and cholesterol (Cholesterol FS®, DiaSys, Holzheim, Germany) were measured in plasma, following manufacturers’ instructions. Optical density was read with a microplate reader Varioskan Lux® (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, USA).

After 24 h with/without 100 nmol/L insulin, total glycogen content was determined using an enzymatic method (amyloglucosidase [Sigma-Aldrich]) and the glucose amount obtained was quantified using a commercial kit (DiaSys “Glucose GOD FS”). All assays were performed in triplicate and were normalized to protein amount (BCA Protein Assay kit, Pierce).

Plasma IL‐6 and CCL2 levels were measured using a Mouse Adipokine (MADKMAG‐71K) kit, while plasma IFNγ, TNF, IL‐1α, IL‐1β, IL‐2, IL‐7, IL‐10, IL‐15, CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, CXCL1, CXCL9 and CXCL10 from Mouse Cytokine (MCYTMAG‐13K) kit (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), according to the manufacturer's instructions. Plasma glucose was measured with Glucose GOD FS (DiaSys, Holzheim, Germany), according to the manufacturer's protocol. The insulin and ALT determination in the plasma, as well as the hepatic triglycerides and hydroxyproline analysis, have been previously described (Rusli et al., 2015, 2016).

Rapid Plasma Separation and Glucose Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Plasma separation was done within 60 min following blood collection by centrifugation at 3000 rpm for 15 min. Plasma was separated and collected into sterile microtubes, then used for glucose analysis and stored at −20 °C until further analysis. Glucose measurements on blood samples at day 0 (baseline), induction and termination were done in duplicate with the GOD-PAP method according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Glucose GOD FS, DiaSys, Germany). Internal quality control yielded 1.5% precision.

Plasma Biomarkers Measurement Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood was collected into EDTA-coated tubes. Blood samples were placed on ice and centrifuged at 4°C for 10 min at 10,000 g. Plasma was collected and stored at −80°C. To measure plasma MCP-1 concentration a DuoSet ELISA Development kit against mouse MCP-1 was used (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA). For insulin measurements an ultra-sensitive mouse insulin ELISA kit was used (Crystal chemicals, Downers Grove, IL, USA). For the other plasma measurements the following kits were used: NEFA Reagent set, Triglycerides Liquicolor, Cholesterol Liquicolor (all Instruchemie, Delfzijl, the Netherlands) and Glucose GOD FS (DiaSys, Holzheim, Germany). All measurements were performed according to the manufacturers’ protocols.

Corneal Vitality Assessment via Metabolic Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Corneal vitality was assessed by demonstrating metabolic activity. Therefore, the concentrations of glucose (Glucose GOD FS, DiaSys Diagnostic Systems GmbH, Holzheim, Germany) and lactate (Lactate FS, DiaSys Diagnostic Systems GmbH, Holzheim, Germany) were quantified photometrically (EPOCH microplate reader, BioTek Instruments GmbH, Bad Friedrichshall, Germany) in the eluted medium of the anterior chamber after bypassing the corneal endothelium. Low glucose levels indicate consumption of glucose contained in the cell culture medium; conversely, high lactate levels indicate energy consumption. Thus high glucose levels with low lactate levels indicate low energy consumption or cell death as result of toxic action. The glucose/lactate concentrations were analyzed daily.

Nitrogen content of EW and EWFs was determined by the Kjeldahl method. Glucose was quantified using an enzymatic spectrophotometric test (Glucose GOD FS) according to the instructions of the provider (DiaSys GmbH, Germany). Mineral quantification by ICP-OES was carried out using samples in 10% iron-free nitric acid (Sigma-Aldrich; 438073), incubated in sealed, plastic tubes at 80 °C overnight with occasional vortexing. Samples were centrifuged (4 °C, 30 min, 18,111g) and supernatants were diluted twofold. The multi-elemental contents of the nitric acid-dissolved sample-solutions were determined using a Perkin Elmer Optima 3000 ICP-OES with radial view and a cross flow nebulizer (Anne Dudley, Analytical Technical Services, University of Reading).
