Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In October 2016, healthy mature male crabs (average weight, 114.04 ± 9.14 g) were collected from the crab breeding base (32.864256110°N, 119.866714447°E) of Tao Huadao Agricultural Development Co., Ltd. in Anfeng Town, Xinghua City, northern Jiangsu Province, China. The crabs were transported to the laboratory in polystyrene boxes filled with cultivation water, which was aerated during transportation with an aeration pump. Upon arrival, the crabs were cultured in experimental tanks (capacity, 90 L) with 20 L of natural water under controlled temperature (23–25°C), pH (7.25 ± 0.25), and dissolved oxygen (6.85 ± 0.15 mg·L-1) for 2 weeks. During the acclimation period, the crabs were fed with a commercial crab feed (37% crude protein) 2 times a day and were starved 1 day before the experiment. After 2 weeks of acclimation, 60 healthy crabs were separated into 6 groups (3 test and 3 control groups); the crabs in the test groups were given a 40 min bath in 3 ppb of deltamethrin (95% purity, Sigma; dissolved in acetone to prepare a stock solution of 25 mg·L-1), and the crabs in the control groups were exposed to the same concentration of acetone as that of deltamethrin in the test groups. Each experiment was performed in triplicate. After 40 min, the crabs were dissected on ice, and the hepatopancreas was collected in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C for RNA extraction.

Deltamethrin (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) is the reference pyrethroid selected by the EPA (EPA, 2011). Aliquots were prepared by dissolving Deltamethrin (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) in acetone (Sigma), mixing with corn oil (Mazola, Memphis, TN), allowing the acetone to evaporate overnight, and then storing at −80° C in capped borosilicate glass vials (Fisher Scientific, Hampton, NH) until the day of use. Aliquots of vehicle were prepared by allowing a similar volume of acetone to evaporate in corn oil.

Deltamethrin Dose Preparation for Rat Studies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Aliquots of deltamethrin (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) in corn oil (Mazola, Memphis, TN) were prepared at a concentration of 9 mg/mL by dissolving deltamethrin powder in acetone (Sigma), mixing the acetone with corn oil, evaporating the acetone from the mixture overnight in a fume hood, and storing the resulting corn oil in glass vials at −80° C. Vehicle aliquots were prepared using the same volumes of acetone and corn oil. Aliquots were thawed immediately prior to use. Dams were weighed immediately before each feeding and the appropriate amount of corn oil (1 μL/3 g body weight) was mixed with ~100 mg JIF peanut butter (J.M. Smucker, Orville, OH) to achieve a dose of 3 mg/kg.

Eight-week-old C57BL/6NCrl wild-type mice (Charles River Labs) received food and water ad libitum and were maintained on a 12:12 dark/light cycle. Females were dosed with 3 mg/kg deltamethrin (Sigma-Aldrich) every three days for two weeks prior to breeding in triplicate. deltamethrin dosing continued during breeding and gestation. One male and one female mouse per litter were utilized for each experiment to reduce confounding due to litter effects. Throughout, an independent litter represents one sample (n = 1). All experiments were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee at Emory University and were conducted in accordance with the National Institutes of Health Guide of Care and Use of Laboratory Animals.

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.
