Insulin Resistance Evaluation in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood was collected from mice through retro-optical bleeding at 6 weeks post surgery after overnight fasting. Serum insulin and leptin were tested using multiplex kit (MMHMAG-44K, Millipore Corporation, 28820 Single Oak Drive, Temecula, California). Insulin tolerance was performed in each cohort at times indicated in Figure 1. The test was conducted with peritoneal injection of insulin at 0.7 U Kg−1 after 4 h fasting. MOHA-IR was calculated with a formula: homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance (mg dl−1) = glucose × insulin/405.

Blood serum was isolated using Z-Gel 1.1 ml serum preparation tubes (41.1378.005, Sarstedt) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Tissue for protein measurements was snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. 50–100 mg tissue were added to 10× the weight T-PER Tissue Protein Extraction Reagent (78510, ThermoFisher) containing Halt Proteinase and Phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (78440, ThermoFisher). Tissue was homogenized using a 5 mm steel bead (Qiagen) and a TissueLyser II (Qiagen) at 30 hz for 2 min (spleen, liver, adipose tissue, pancreas, thymus, kidney), 5 min (muscle, heart, lung, cecum, large intestine, small intestine) or 10 min (skin, stomach). Debris was pelleted and supernatant used for assays. Bone marrow was prepared by flushing 2 femurs with 500 ul PBS. After pelleting the cells, supernatant was used for BMEF measurements, while cells were taken up in T-PER lysis buffer, underwent one freeze-thaw cycle and debris was pelleted. For measurement of serum and tissue chemokine levels commercially available ELISA kits for CCL2/JE (MJE00, R&D) and CXCL12/SF-1 (MCX120, R&D) were used. For measurement of blood stress hormone corticosterone an ELISA kit was used (ADI-900–097, Enzo). Multiplex was performed using a kit for mouse metabolic hormones (MMHMAG-44K, Millipore) and human metabolic hormones (HMEMAG-34K, Millipore).

Fasting plasma insulin levels were measured in mice fasted for 16 h using the Mouse Metabolic Hormone Magnetic Bead Panel (Metabolism Multiplex Assay, MMHMAG-44K, Millipore). Plasma TG, cholesterol and FFA concentrations were determined using enzymatic methods (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany) with a Hitachi 7600 clinical chemistry analyser (Hitachi Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) in overnight-fasted mice. Serum AST and ALT levels were measured via ultraviolet methods (Roche Diagnostics) with a Hitachi 7600 analyser, according to the recommended protocols from the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry.

Multiplex ELISA of Glucagon and TNF-α

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The multiplex assay used was a multiple ELISA assay. Indeed, thanks to magnetic beads coated for different antibodies, it is possible to perform an ELISA for several antigens for the same sample in the same well. The multiplex assay was performed using a Milliplex kit (MMHMAG-44K, Millipore, Merck) following the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, samples were incubated with a magnetic bead mix (directed against glucagon and TNFα) overnight at 4°C under agitation. The plate was washed three times with 1x wash buffer, and 50 μL of a solution containing detection antibodies was added to each well. The plate was incubated for 30 min under agitation at room temperature (RT). Fifty microliters of a streptavidin-phycoerythrin solution was added into each well, and the plate was incubated under agitation for 30 min at RT. The plate was washed three times, 100 μL sheath fluid was added into each well, and the plate was read using the Bio-Rad Luminex® 2000™ software. The gate settings were set according to the manufacturer's instructions (i.e., 8,000 to 15,000).

Plasma insulin and leptin were measured using a Milliplex MAP kit with a mouse metabolic magnetic bead panel [catalog no. MMHMAG-44K (28 ), Millipore Corporation, Bedford, MA]. Plasma insulin was also measured by ELISA [catalog no. EZRMI-13K (29 ), Millipore Corporation]. Adiponectin was measured using a Milliplex MAP kit mouse adiponectin magnetic bead panel single plex [catalog no. MADPNMAG-70K-0 (30 ), Millipore Corporation]. Mean interassay and intra-assay coefficient of variation (CV) values for an insulin or leptin Milliplex MAP kit are 7% and 5%, respectively, and the assay standards range from 0.069 ng/mL to 50 ng/mL. Mean interassay and intra-assay CV values for insulin ELISA are 18% and 8%, respectively, and the assay standards range from 0.2 ng/mL to 10 ng/mL. Mean interassay and intra-assay CV values for an adiponectin Milliplex MAP kit are 11% and 3%, respectively, and the assay standards range from 12.2 pg/mL to 12,500 pg/mL.

Sampling was carried out at the same time of day for all experiments. Blood samples were taken by cardiac puncture following euthanasia with 0.1 ml of Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor (BIO-TECHNE LTD.) per ml of blood, centrifuged at 1,000–2,000 × g for 10 min and the serum removed, aliquoted and stored at −20°C prior to analysis. The entire intestinal tract was excised, the contents removed by flushing with sterile Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS), prior to dividing into anatomically distinct segments (duodenum, jejunum, ileum, proximal colon and distal colon) that were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin (Sigma-Aldrich) for 24 h at 20–22°C followed by 24 h in 70% ethanol at 4°C. Tissues were then processed through a xylene/alcohol dehydration and clearing series followed by wax infiltration. Segments were embedded in paraffin wax prior to sectioning (5 μm) and mounting on SuperFrost® Plus glass slides (VWR). ELISA (Millipore, MMHMAG-44K) was used to quantitate GLP-1 levels in serum.

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.
