After a 16-hour fast, animals were injected with glucose (2g/kg ip) at the ages of 4, 8, and 13 weeks. Glucose levels were monitored from the tail vein using an Accu-Check Aviva glucose monitor (Roche, Indianapolis, IN). Plasma samples were obtained for insulin measurements in a separate cohort of animals at earlier time points. Plasma was isolated and stored at -80°C until used for radioimmunoassays. Since 11-month-old rats on a HFD had a qualitative increase in abdominal adiposity, intravenous GTT were conducted under anesthesia to enhance reliability of glucose administration and decrease procedural stress for these animals. In the 11-month-old animals, the rats were fasted and anesthetized with isoflurane before tail vein injection of glucose (0.5g/kg). Glucose levels were monitored from the tail vein using an Accu-Check Aviva glucose monitor.

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.
