Resveratrol Mitigates Colorectal Polyps

Male F344 rats were purchased from CLEA Japan, Inc. In total, 30 rats were divided into a vehicle group, a 10 mg/kg group, and a 100 mg/kg group. AOM (20 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally on day 1 and day 4, and rats were given free access to drinking water containing 1% DSS from day 7 to day 13. The dose of resveratrol was determined by weighing rats twice a week, suspending the compound in sterile water, and administering directly to the stomach with a gastric sonde once daily. At 15 weeks after administration, we observed left colon polyps using a thin veterinary endoscope system (AVS Co., Ltd.) in all rats to confirm that the colorectal lesion was successfully produced and avoid meaningless sacrifice. Resveratrol administration was continued for 16 weeks, followed by sacrifice and counting the number of colorectal polyps under a stereomicroscope. Four polyps in each group were excised and frozen for transcriptome analysis. Immediately after sacrifice, blood was collected from the aorta of three animals in each group for analysis.
Detailed methods on PDO culture, compounds, cell viability assay, microarray analysis, bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) assay, real‐time PCR, western blotting, and statistics are provided in Appendix S1.

High-Fat Diet Intervention in Rats

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All animal experiments were approved by the institutional animal care and use committee of the biological resource center, A*STAR, Singapore. Male F344 rats (CLEA Japan, Inc. Tokyo, Japan) were received at 4 weeks of age, placed in individual cages, and randomly assigned to chow diet (n = 8) and HFD groups (n = 8). The animals were fed with their respective diets from the 5th week until the completion of the study (24th week). The FA composition of the HFD (Research Diets, New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA) was 62.4% saturated fat, 30.7% monounsaturated fat, 6.9% polyunsaturated fat.

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.
