Triglyceride Quantification in Adipocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cellular
concentration of triglyceride (TG) was determined using the method
of Senarath et al.(45 (link)) with
a few modifications. Briefly, mature adipocytes obtained on the eighth
day were rinsed twice with PBS; the cells were scraped into PIPES
(Piperazine-N,N′-bis(2-ethanesulfonic acid)) buffer with 0.1% Triton X and
lysed by sonication on ice. The TG level in the lysate was measured
using the triglyceride E-test Wako kit (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical
Corporation) according to the manufacture’s protocol.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Male C57BL/6N mice (8–12 weeks old) were maintained under a 12 h light/dark cycle and fed a conventional laboratory diet and water. Mice were fed a purified diet (CE-2; Clea Japan, Tokyo, Japan) supplemented with or without fenofibrate (0.03 or 0.1% wt/wt) and phenobarbital (0.03 or 0.1% wt/wt) for a week. Mice were intraperitoneally treated with TCPBOP (3 mg/kg dissolved in corn oil). Six hours after treatment, the mice fasted for 18 h. Livers and plasma were collected and subjected to experiments. Plasma triglyceride levels were determined using a Triglyceride E Test WAKO kit (Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemicals). All animal experiments were approved by the committees for animal experiments at Tohoku University and the University of Shizuoka and conducted in accordance with the guidelines for animal experiments at Tohoku University and the University of Shizuoka.

Plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels were measured using the Transaminase CII-Test-Wako kit (Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Corp.). Hepatic triglyceride contents were measured using the triglyceride E-Test-Wako kit (Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Corp.)47 (link). Hepatic MDA levels were measured using the Lipid Peroxidation (MDA) Assay Kit (Colorimetric/Fluorometric) (ab118970, Abcam, Cambridge, UK).

Hepatic Triglyceride Content Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After liver tissue weight was measured, frozen liver tissue was homogenized in 2 mL ice-cold isopropanol. The samples were incubated for 10 min with shaking at room temperature, and the samples were centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 min. 1 mL of supernatant was used to measure the hepatic triglyceride content by commercial Triglyceride E-test WAKO kit (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Osaka, Japan). Results were normalized to the weight of each liver samples.

Mouse 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were obtained from the European Collection of Cell Cultures (Wiltshire, UK). The Transcriptor First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit and LightCycler FirstStart DNA Masterplus SYBR Green reagent were obtained from Roche Diagnostics (Indianapolis, IN, USA). TRIzol reagent and the primers for β-actin, PPARγ, and C/EBPα were purchased from Invitrogen (Carlsbad, CA, USA). Rabbit polyclonal anti-human β-actin, PPARγ, and C/EBPα antibodies and goat HRP-linked anti-rabbit IgG antibody were obtained from Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA, U.S.A. Sulforaphane, allyl isothiocyanate, and a protease inhibitor cocktail were obtained from Sigma Chemical Co. (St. Louis, MO, USA). The Triglyceride E-test Wako kit was obtained from Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd. (Osaka, Japan). The Lipid Droplets Fluorescence Assay Kit was obtained from Cayman Chemical Co.

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.
