Phlorizin Protects Against Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The experimental protocols are shown in Fig 1. After a stabilization period of 20 minutes, the control hearts were perfused for another 10 minutes before ischemia-reperfusion in order to measure the baseline pre-ischemia cardiac function. Subsequently, global ischemia was applied by eliminating flow for 20 minutes followed by 40 minutes of reperfusion. In the phlorizin-perfused group, 10−4 mol/L of phlorizin (Sigma-Aldrich, Tokyo, Japan) was added to the buffer during the 10-minute pre-ischemia perfusion and 40-minute reperfusion periods. phlorizin was dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), and the solvent concentration was identically maintained in the control group. For the immunoblotting analysis, the individual perfused hearts after ischemia-reperfusion or the hearts simply perfused for an equivalent interval of the ischemia-reperfusion protocol (namely, 90 minutes) were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C prior to protein extraction. Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining was performed to determine the myocardial infarct size using the individual perfused hearts after ischemia-reperfusion, as previously described [3 (link)].

Phlorizin Treatment in Diabetic Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Phlorizin (Sigma-Aldrich) was prepared as a 20% stock (0.2 g ml−1) in 1,2-propanediol (Sigma-Aldrich) and kept at 4 °C. Mice were injected subcutaneous with 0.4 g kg−1 Phlorizin or vehicle once daily for 7 days (10-week-old db/db; 3 phlorozin-treated and 7 vehicle-treated mice) or 10 days (4-week-old db/db; 3 phlorozin-treated and 7 vehicle-treated mice). Non-fasted blood glucose was measured before killing. For the Phlorizin-treated 4-week-old db/db mice it was 4.7±0.4 mM and for the control-treated 4-week-old db/db mice it was 4.8±0.6 mM. For the Phlorizin-treated 10-week-old db/db mice it was 8.4±1.5 mM and for the control-treated 10-week-old db/db mice it was 20.0±3.2 mM. Animals were killed by cervical dislocation and pancreatic islets and RNA was prepared as described above.

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.
