PCOS Mouse Model with Trehalose

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For animal modeling experiments, mice were randomly divided into three groups. Control group: Mice were fed a normal diet for 24 days, plus injection of DHEA solvent such as soybean oil into the back of the neck for the first 21 days. PCOS group: Mice were fed an HFD (High-fat diet) (consisting of 61.5% regular diet, 12% lard, 5% sucrose, 5% milk powder, 5% peanut, 10% egg, 1% sesame oil and 0.5% salt) and injected with DHEA (6 mg/kg/d, dissolved in DMSO and fused with soybean oil) on the back of neck for 21 days, followed by HFD for the remaining 3 days. Trehalose group: In addition to the intervention in the PCOS group, 2% Trehalose (R8530; Yuanye, China) were fed with water for 24 days (Trehalose dissolved in the drinking water of mice).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Trehalose (Yuanye, Shanghai, China, # S11051) was dissolved and diluted to the final concentrations with ddH2O in this study. The administration method was completely based on a previous study [19 ]. Briefly, 80 μl of Trehalose solution with the final concentrations (0, 50, 100, and 200 mM) was daily added to the culture vial (with sufficient food) containing 20 newly eclosed subject flies (1–2 days old) until 25 days. The flies were transferred into fresh food every 7 days. The groups were designed as follows: wild-type group: A307  >  W1118, Aβarc expression group: A307  >  Aβarc, Aβarc expression plus low-dose Trehalose treatment group (TRE50): A307  >  Aβarc +  TRE 50 mM, Aβarc expression plus middle-dose Trehalose treatment group (TRE100): A307  >  Aβarc +  TRE 100 mM, and Aβarc expression plus high-dose Trehalose treatment group (TRE200): A307  >  Aβarc +  TRE 200 mM.

Trehalase activity was determined using the 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid method with modifications [22 (link)]. The reaction mixture consisted of 125 μL of extract of total proteins, 50 μL of 0.4 M trehalose (Shanghai Yuanye Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China), 125 μL of 0.2 M PBS (pH 6.0), 200 μL of validamycin (final concentrations of 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20 μg/mL), and sterile water as control (CK). The mixture was incubated at 37 °C for 15 min, and trehalase activity was then determined. The reaction was stopped by adding 500 μL 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid and boiled water for 5 min, and then the optical density at 540 nm (OD540) was measured after cooling. Trehalase activity was determined by measuring the content of glucose released during incubation. One unit of enzyme (U) was defined as the amount that hydrolyzes 1 μmol of trehalose per minute.

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.
