Glucose tolerance tests (GTT) were performed on 2 month old male mice in clean cages subjected to starvation with free access to water for 6 hours. Mice were weighed and a small amount of blood was obtained from tail vein for baseline (time 0) glucose measurement. Mice were then injected intraperitoneally with 50% sterile dextrose (1 mg/g body weight). Tail blood glucose was determined at 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min after challenge using a Bayer Contour glucometer. For insulin tolerance test (ITT), 2 month old male mice were placed in clean cages without food and free access to water. Following a 6 hr fast, the mice were weighed and baseline glucose reading was taken using Bayer Contour glucometer. Mice were injected intraperitoneally with human insulin (Humulin, Eli-Lilly) at a dose of 0.7U/Kg body weight and blood glucose measured at 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120 min after insulin injection.

Blood glucose was measured using a Contour glucometer (Bayer). For intraperitoneal glucose tolerance tests (IPGTT), overnight fasted (13 h) mice were injected with D-glucose solution at 2 g/kg. For insulin tolerance tests (ITT), animals were injected with 0.75 U/kg body weight of a 5 × 10−2 U/ml insulin solution after a 6-h fasting period. For intraperitoneal pyruvate tolerance test (PTT), mice were injected with 2 g/kg in overnight fasted mice. Blood glucose was measured using a Contour glucometer (Bayer), insulin was measured by ELISA (Chrystal Chem), and glucagon levels were determined by EIA (Phoenix Pharmaceuticals).

NSG littermate control mice were used. For circulating
GLP-1 assessment, mice were fasted for 6 hours (starting at 9AM), then D-glucose

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.
