In cohort 1 and 2, the intestine sample was collected immediately after mouse sacrifice, quickly cleaned, frozen in liquid nitrogen and then stored in -80°C. Collection was done in both overnight fasted mice and freely fed mice. Total RNA was prepared from the tissues with TRIzol reagent (Cat. T9424, Sigma, St. Louis, MO). TaqMan RT-PCR reaction was used to quantify GIP mRNA using the 7900 HT Fast real-time PCR System (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) as previously described [31 (link)]. TaqMan primer for mouse GIP (Mm00433601-m1) and 18S (AIQJA2B, P N4331348) were purchased from the Applied Biosystems. The GIP mRNA signal was normalized with ribosome 18S RNA. In the tissue culture, GIP protein in the culture supernatant was determined using an ELISA kit (EZRMGIP-55K, EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA 01821). In cohort 1, GIP mRNA was tested at 10 wks on HFD. In cohort 2, the test was done at 6 weeks after surgery.

F344 rats were fed HFD from 5 weeks old in order to develop diet-induced obesity (defined as DIO-F344 rats). DIO-F344 rats (41 weeks old, baseline BW 532 ± 16 g) were randomized based on their BW, and were bled from the tail vein at indicated time points after drug administration (N = 6 per group, total N = 18). Plasma total GLP-1 levels were determined using sandwich ELISA, which had been established by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited [33 (link)]. Plasma total GIP levels were measured using a commercially available total GIP ELISA kit (EZRMGIP-55K, Merck Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA).

All biochemical and hormonal parameters were measured in collected plasma samples from the OGTT. The chemical analysis was carried out to determine the concentration of liver enzymes such as cholesterol, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) using 7189 Clinical Analyzer (HITACHI, Tokyo, Japan). The hormonal parameters, including insulin, GLP-1, and GIP, were estimated using the following enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) kits, respectively: Rat Insulin ELISA Kit (CC-90010, Crystal chem, Elk Grove Village, IL, USA), Multi Species GLP-1 Total ELISA (EZGLP1T-36K, Merck Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA), and Rat/Mouse GIP (total) ELISA (EZRMGIP-55K, Merck Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA). Insulin, GLP-1, and GIP levels were calculated following the manufacturer’s instructions. Each assay was performed in duplicate from the indicated samples.

For the measurement of plasma GLP-1, blood samples were collected in ice-cooled BD Microtainer blood collection tubes coated with K2EDTA (36784, BD) followed by addition of 50 µM DPP-IV inhibitor (DPP4, Merck/millipore), while culture medium was collected plus 1% DPP-IV inhibitor and centrifuged for 5 min at 4 °C at 12,000 × g. Active GLP-1 levels were determined by using an active GLP-1 ELISA kit (EGLP-35K, Merck/millipore) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For the measurement of insulin, a mouse insulin ELISA kit (EZRMI-13K, Merck/millipore) was used. For the measurement of serum levels of total T3, a T3 (total) (Mouse/Rat) ELISA Kit (KA0925, Abnova) was used. For the measurement of GIP, a Rat/Mouse GIP (total) ELISA kit (EZRMGIP-55K, Merck/millipore) was used. For the measurement of cAMP, cAMP was extracted from frozen intestine tissue samples by lysis buffer and analyzed by a mouse cAMP Assay kit (ab138880, Abcam). Intracellular cAMP was extracted from STC-1, NCI-H716 cells and intestinal organoids, and then analyzed according to the manufacturer’s instruction.

An OGTT was conducted after rats were fed an HFS diet for 6 weeks. Rats were fasted overnight (16-18 hours) and baseline (fasting) blood was collected twice (at -15 minutes and 0 minutes) from the tail vein. Following baseline (0 minutes) blood collection, a glucose solution was orally administered at 2 g/kg containing 0.5% hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (10 mL/kg). Canagliflozin, added to the glucose solution, was administered at 3 or 10 mg/kg. Systemic blood was collected from the tail vein into tubes containing heparin (final concentration, 50 IU/mL; Ajinomoto Company, Inc., Tokyo, Japan), aprotinin [500 kallikrein inhibitor (KI) units/mL; Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., Osaka, Japan], and the DPP-IV inhibitor (50 μM; DPP4-010; Merck Millipore Co., Billerica, MA) at 0, 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes after the administration of glucose.
Plasma was separated by centrifugation at 2,300 × g for 10 minites at 4°C and frozen at -80°C until glucose, insulin, GLP-1, and GIP were measured. Plasma glucose, insulin, and total GLP-1 concentrations were measured using Glucose CII test (Wako), rat insulin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA; AKRIN-010T; Shibayagi Co., Ltd., Gunma, Japan), multi-species GLP-1 total ELISA (EZGLP1T-36K; Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany), and rat/mouse GIP (total) ELISA (EZRMGIP-55K, Merck Millipore) kits, respectively.

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.
