Ten-hour fasting blood glucose levels were measured in whole blood drawn from the tail vein using the OneTouch Ultra 2 Meter (LifeScan, Inc. New Brunswick NJ). Insulin and HbA1c levels were determined using an Ultra-Sensitive Mouse Insulin ELISA Kit and Mouse Hemoglobin A1c Kit, respectively (Crystal Chem, Inc. Downers Grove, IL).

Serum samples were collected by retro-orbital bleed and were stored at −80°C. Total ghrelin levels were measured using a Mouse Ghrelin (total) ELISA kit by Millipore according to manufacturer’s instructions. Serum leptin concentrations were measured by ELISA (Mouse Leptin DuoSet, R&D Systems) as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Insulin concentrations in serum and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion supernatant were measured by ELISA (cat. no. 10-1247-01; mouse insulin ELISA, Mercodia), as per the manufacturer’s instructions. HbA1c was measured using a Mouse Hemoglobin A1c kit for the quantitative determination of HbA1c in mouse whole blood from Crystal Chem per the manufacturer’s instructions. Serum IGF-1 concentrations were measured by ELISA (Mouse IGF-1, R&D Systems) per the manufacturer’s instructions.

A portion of the whole blood collected at the sacrifice of all experimental animals was used for hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) measurement, using a Mouse Hemoglobin A1c Kit (Crystal Chem Inc., USA). The remaining whole blood was centrifuged (3,000 rpm at 4°C for 20 min) to collect serum samples. Glucose Assay Kits, Insulin (Mouse) ELISA Kits, Protein Carbonyl Content Assay Kit (Biovision), and a TNF-α and IL-1β R&D Duoset ELISA kit (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) were used for serum or urine analysis.
The isolated liver was homogenized and lipid peroxidation was measured using the Lipid Peroxidation Colorimetric Assay Kit (Biovision). All experiments were conducted according to the specifications of the manufacturers.

The wt and ob/ob mice were weighed, and peripheral blood was collected for measurements of blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Blood was collected in sterile EDTA-treated tubes (#367838, BD Vacutainer; BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ) and stored at 4 °C. Blood glucose levels were measured using an Accu-Chek Performa blood glucose meter (Roche Diabetes Care, Sydney, Australia). HbA1c was measured using a Mouse Hemoglobin A1c Kit (#80310; Crystal Chem, Elk Grove Village, IL) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. HbA1c levels were read on a POLARstar Omega Spectrophotometer (BMG LABTECH, Ortenberg, Germany). Samples were averaged with n=8 per biological group, and statistical significance (p<0.05) was measured using a Student t test.

Glycemic Changes in IAPP Transgenic Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Long term changes (7–54 weeks) in non-fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin levels were assessed in wild type, hemizygous (IAPP+/−) and homozygous (IAPP+/+) male and female mice. Blood was collected from mice tail vein, and blood glucose levels were determined using glucometer (ONE TOUCH Ultra, LIFESCAN). Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels were measured using Mouse Hemoglobin A1C kit (Crystal Chem., IL, cat. No. 80310) following manufacturer’s instruction. Briefly, equal volumes (5µl) of total blood from each group were collected and subjected to extensive proteases digestion, following which glycated hemoglobin levels were determined using horseradish peroxidase based colorimetric assay. The row data (absorbance values at 700nm) were converted to % HbaA1c using manufacturer protocol.

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.
