0.3 g of adipose tissue was minced and incubated with 500 μl assay buffer at 37°C for 1 hour. The tissue mixture was centrifuged at 500 × g for 10 minutes and the liquid between the pellet and floating adipose tissue was moved to a new tube. Free fatty acids were measured using kits obtained from Wako Diagnostics (Mountain View, CA) and glycerol was measured using a Glycerol Colorimetric Assay Kit from Cayman Chemical Company (Ann Arbor, MI), each sample was measured in triplicates and presented as a composite mean with standard error of the mean.

Phosphate and Glycerol Quantification in SCCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The total phosphate content of SCCs was determined by the malachite green method following digestion with perchloric acid, as previously described21 (link). To determine glycerol, SCCs were incubated with 2 N HCl at 100°C for 2 hours. The samples were neutralized with NaOH in the presence of 62.5 mM HEPES pH 7.5. Glycerol concentration was measured using the Glycerol Colorimetric assay kit (Cayman Chemical) according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

Gonadal fat pads were excised from mice, cut into 20 mg pieces, and incubated at 37°C in Krebs–Ringer solution pH 7.4, containing 12 mM HEPES, 4.9 mM KCl, 121 mM NaCl, 1.2 mM MgSO4, 0.33 mM CaCl2, 3.5% (w/v) fatty acid‐free BSA, and 0.1% (w/v) glucose. No stimulation was performed. Released glycerol was measured from supernatants after 4 h incubation using the Glycerol Colorimetric Assay Kit (Cayman), and tissue weights were used for normalization.

Plasma and gastrocnemius IL-6 concentrations were measured using a R&D Mouse IL-6 ELISA Duo set (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MI, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Gastrocnemius IL-6 concentration was related to total protein concentration measured using the Pierce™ BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Plasma glycerol was measured using the Glycerol Colorimetric Assay Kit (Cayman Chemical Co., Ann Arbor, MI, USA).

Caco-2 Permeability of Glycerol and Inhibitors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Caco-2 cells were plated in 24-well Transwell plates and incubated for 7, 14, and 21 days. After being removed from the culture medium, the cells were treated with HBSS (pH 6.0) on the apical side and HBSS (pH 7.4) on the basal side and preincubated at 37 °C in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 for 15 min. The cells were then treated on the apical side with glycerol (final concentration: 50 mM), a combination of glycerol and HgCl2 (final concentration: 10 µM), or a combination of glycerol and phloretin (final concentration: 100 µM). Samples were collected from the basal side up to 90 min after treatment, and the concentration of glycerol was determined using a glycerol colorimetric assay kit (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) [52 (link),53 (link)]. The Papp was then calculated based on the amount of glycerol that had permeated to the basal side [54 (link)].

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.
