Conditioned medium from fifty thousand cells cultured for 3 days was collected for dopamine assay using Dopamine ELISA Kit (CAT#KA1887, Abnova). Following the manufacturer’s instruction, samples were processed through extraction, acylation, and enzymatic assay. The extraction step was performed from 10 μl of standards and 300 μl of samples mixed in the extraction plate following by addition of 50 μl of assay buffer and 50 μl of extraction buffer. After shaking incubation for 30 min, the plate was washed twice with washing buffer provided, followed by drying. The acylation step was continued by adding 50 μl of acylation buffer and 25 μl acylation reagent into the extraction plate following 15 min incubation time. The plate was then washed and dried before incubating in 175 μl of hydrochloric acid for 10 min on shaker. The final enzymatic assay was continued with 25 μl of enzyme solution, 25 μl of the extracted standards and 50 μl of the extracted sample following the protocol. Absorbance was measured within 10 min using the microplate reader under the wavelength of 450 nm.

A dopamine ELISA kit (#KA1887, Abnova, Taiwan) was used to evaluate dopamine concentration in the NAcc of the mice. The protocol was conducted according to the manufacturer's instructions provided. Briefly, the standards, controls and samples were subjected to extraction and acylation techniques. The enzyme solution, standards, controls, samples and HCl were added to 96‐well microtitre plates and incubated for 30 min at room temperature after extraction. Next, dopamine antiserum was added and incubated for 2 h at room temperature (20–25°C). Afterward, the samples were discarded and washed three times with a washing buffer. The plates were incubated with the enzyme conjugate for 30 min and washed three times. Plates were then incubated with 3,3′,5,5′‐tetramethylbenzidine substrate for 25 min in the dark. Finally, a stop solution was added to the plate, and an EMax Plus microplate reader (Molecular Devices, San Jose, CA, USA) was used to measure the absorbance at 450 nm. All measurements were performed in duplicates.

The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of monkeys was sampled by lumbar puncture in L3-4 interspace when the monkeys were under anesthetized by intramuscular injection of atropine (0.05 mg/kg) and ketamine (10 mg/kg). The CSF was protected from light during the sampling process, then the CSF sample (0.8 ml) was centrifuged at 8000 × g for 15 min at 4 °C and immediately frozen at −80 °C until analysis. CSF of rats samples is taken from the cisterna magna using a method as described previously77 . Dopamine concentration of CSF assayed by dopamine ELISA Kit (Abnova, Catalog Number KA1887).

For serum dopamine level measurement, 200 μL of serum samples were mixed 100 μL of 1 × phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) to adjust the dopamine extraction reaction volume, and subjected to the extraction procedures provided in dopamine ELISA kit (Abnova, Taiwan). For serum serotonin measurement, serum samples were diluted at 1:5 and 1:10 ratios and used with serotonin ELISA kit (Abcam, USA). Competitive ELISA experiments were performed following the manufacturer's instructions.

Dopamine Quantification in Fly Heads

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After the 7-day treatment, 50 flies per vial, n = 5, were frozen at −20 °C and their heads were separated from the bodies using forceps and sharp blade/cutter. Then, fly heads were homogenized in 0.1 M Perchloric acid and centrifuged using an Eppendorf Legend Micro 17R Centrifuge (fixed angle rotor) at 12000×g for 30 min at 4 °C. The supernatants were carefully separated from the pellets and stored at −20 °C until used within 24 h. Dopamine ELISA kit (Abnova, Taiwan) was thereafter used to determine the level of dopamine in the supernatants by following the manufacturer’s procedure. Spectramax Plus 384 Microplate Reader (Molecular Devices) was used to measure the absorbance at wavelength of 450 nm.

Salts and organic solvents used in solution preparations were purchased from Fisher Scientific (Leicestershire, UK), Sigma Chemicals (St. Louis, MO, USA, EUA), or Merck (Darmstad, Germany), with the highest grade of purity commercially available. It used antibodies to analyze D1R, D2R, DARPP32 (ab81296, ab85367, and ab40801 respectively, Abcam, UK), and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), (T1299, Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) at a 1:1000 dilution. Moreover, antibodies against GLP-1 and GLP-1R and against the phosphorylated form of insulin receptor were used (ab22625, ab218532, and InsR-Tyr972, ab5678 respectively, Abcam, UK) as well, against phosphorylated AMPK form (Thr172, 2535S, Cell Signalling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA, EUA). Calnexin was used as loading control (AB0037, Sicgen, Cantanhede, Portugal). Plasma dopamine levels and plasma GLP-1 levels were assessed through the Dopamine ELISA Kit, (Abnova, Taiwan) and Rat GLP1/Glucagon-like Peptide 1 ELISA Kit, (LifeSpan BioScience, Inc., Washington, DC, USA) respectively.

For neurotransmitter measurements, 6-week-old male C57/ BL6 mice were purchased from the Central Laboratory Animal Inc. and adapted for 1 week. After adaptation, mice were fed a 45 % HFD. During the administration of a HFD, FGT (500 mg/kg body weight) or water (as a vehicle) was orally administered for 8 weeks. After FGT administration, mice were fasted overnight, and blood samples were collected and centrifuged (4°C, 3000 rpm, 5 min). Supernatants were transferred to new microcentrifuge tubes. Plasma levels of dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin were measured using a dopamine ELISA kit (Abnova), norepinephrine ELISA kit (LifeSpan Biosciences) and serotonin ELISA kit (Abcam), respectively, following each manufacturer's instructions.

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.
