Anthropometric and Biochemical Examination

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A complete anthropometrical examination and a biochemical analysis were carried out on each patient. Height and weight were measured with the patient standing in light clothes and shoeless. BMI was calculated as body weight divided by height squared (kg/m2). Laboratory studies included glucose, insulin, glycated haemoglobin, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and transaminases, all of which were analysed using a conventional automated analyser. Insulin resistance (IR) was estimated using homeostasis model assessment of IR (HOMA2-IR) [23 (link)]. Serum levels of adiponectin (Linco Research, Inc., St. Charles, USA), resistin (Biovendor, Modrice, Czech Republic), interleukin 6 (IL6) (Quantikine, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, USA), tumour necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNFRII) (AssayPro, St. Charles, USA), and C-reactive protein (CRP) (Dade Behring, Marburg, Germany) were measured in duplicate using ELISA, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Serum AHSG concentration by radial immunodiffusion (RID) was as previous described elsewhere [36 (link)]. Intra-assay (IACV) and interassay IECV) coefficients of variation were below 5%. Adiponectin levels were measured with radioimmunoassay (IACV: 3.86%, IECV: 8.47%; Linco Research, St Charles, MO, USA). Serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα, Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA; IACV: 4.8%, IECV: 6.7%), resistin (Linco Research Inc., IACV: 4.0%, IECV: 7.0%), and leptin (DRG International, Mountainside, NJ, USA, IACV%: 4.6%, IECV%: 6.6%) were measured by ELISA.
Fasting levels of serum glucose, total cholesterol, low-density (LDL) cholesterol, high-density (HDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides were detected by routine chemical laboratory methods. Insulin concentration was measured by insulin direct human ELISA kit (Invitrogen, Camarillo, CA, USA, lowest detectable concentration 0.17 μIU/ml, IACV: 4.8%, IECV: 81%). C-peptide was measured by RIA (Biodata, Rome, Italy, lowest detectable concentration: 0.2 ng/ml, IACV: 5.6%, IECV: 7.3%).

Plasma Biomarker Profiling in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Plasma measurements were made on
a subpopulation of the mice (n = 6–8/diet).
Leptin and insulin concentrations were analyzed by ELISA kits (Leptin:
BioVendor, Czech Republic; Insulin: DRG Diagnostics, Germany). Glucagon
and Adiponectin we measured by radioimmunoassay kits (Glucagon: Millipore,
USA; Adiponectin: LINCO Research, USA). Plasma β-hydroxybutyrate
(OH-butyrate), triacylglycerol (TAG), free fatty acids (FFA), glucose,
and lactate concentrations were analyzed by conventional enzymatic
kits (β-hydroxybutyrate: Randox, United Kingdom; TG, FFA, and
glucose: DIALAB, Austria; lactate: Sentinel Diagnostics, Italy) using
a MaxMat PL II (MAXMAT S.A., Montpellier, France).

Measurement of Plasma Metabolic Markers

Plasma glucose was measured by the glucose oxidase method using a glucose analyzer (Yellow Springs Instrument Co., Yellow Springs, Ohio), insulin by commercially available radioimmunoassay (Millipore), HbA1c by high-performance liquid chromatography (Tosoh Medics) and adiponectin (ug/mL) by a radioimmunoassay kit (Linco Research) as previously reported (29 (link),37 (link)). The intra- and inter- assay coefficients for adiponectin were 3.6 and 9.3% for low, and 1.8 and 9.3% respectively for high serum concentrations (37 (link)). Plasma lipid concentrations were determined using the standards of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (13 (link)). Deuterium enrichment of glucose in the plasma was determined on a Hewlett-Packard Co. 5971 mass spectrometer (Palo Alto, CA) coupled to a 5890 gas chromatograph (13 (link)). Deuterium enrichment of glycerol in the plasma was determined according to previously described methods (24 (link)).

Plasma Insulin, Leptin, and Adiponectin Analysis

The collected plasma was used for insulin, leptin and adiponectin concentration analysis using mouse insulin (Linco Research Inc., St. Charles, MO, USA), leptin (IDS Inc., Fountain Hills, AZ, USA) and adiponectin (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY, USA) ELISA kits following manufacturer’s protocols.
The overall insulin sensitivity was estimated using the Homeostatic Model of Assessment (HOMA), representing relation between insulin and glucose concentrations, calculated by the formula (insulin×glucose)/22.5 (Matthews, Hosker et al. 1985 (link)).

Metabolic Measurements in Insulin Resistance

Plasma was immediately separated from blood by centrifugation at 4°C for 10 min at 3600 rpm and stored at −20°C. Commercial radioimmunoassy kits were used to measure plasma insulin, leptin, and adiponectin (LINCO Research, St Charles, MO). During the clamp, plasma glucose concentrations were measured by the glucose oxidase method with a Beckman glucose analyzer II (Beckman Instruments, Fullerton, CA). Plasma 6,6-[2H2]glucose isotopic enrichment was measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Hewlett-Packard Instruments), as previously described [21] (link). Breath 13CO2 isotopic enrichment was determined by Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IR/MS) on a Tracermass C/N (SerCon Ltd, Crewe, Cheshire, UK). The homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) and the HOMA corrected by adiponectin index (HOMA-AD) were calculated according to published formulas [7] (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.
