Chemogenetic Modulation of Locomotion

Mice were injected with VEH or CNO between 8–9AM once daily for five consecutive days in home cages while fed ad lib standard chow (Harlan Teklad 7913). Food, water, and body weight were weighed prior to the morning injection and again between 5–6pm. A cross-over study design was used, thus each animal received both VEH and CNO over the course of two separate experiments, with 24 hr between studies. On day 5, locomotor activity was assessed in CPP chambers described below. Animals were randomly assigned to one side of the chamber and were allowed to acclimate for 30 min. Following acclimation, they received VEH or CNO and locomotor activity was measured by laser beam breaks for 1 hr. HF-Diet Experiments: As above, mice were injected once daily with VEH or CNO between 8–9AM in home cages with ad lib access to high fat, high sugar diet (HF diet, D12451, Research Diets). Mice received 24 hr of access to HF diet prior to the study. On day 5, locomotor activity was assessed as described above, and injections were given for 10 consecutive days to allow time for weight gain. These experiments also used a cross-over design, with 2 wk between experiments during which mice only had access to standard chow.

Cilostazol Treatment in Type 2 Diabetes Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Male BALB/c mice were obtained from the National Laboratory Animal Breeding and Research Center (Taipei, Taiwan). To induce type 2 diabetes mellitus, the mice were housed in laboratory cages and fed with a high-fat (HF) diet (40% fat, Research Diets, Inc., NJ, USA) [14 (link)] for 3 weeks. Subsequently, the mice received 75 mg/kg and 150 mg/kg of intravenous STZ, 5 days apart. Feed was not withheld from any of the animals at the time of STZ administration. After induction, blood glucose was measured daily by tail-vein sampling using a ACCUCHEK glucometer (Roche, Basel, Switzerland). Animals with a blood glucose level more than 11.1 mmol/L (200 mg/dL) were included in this study. Six mice were treated with cilostazol for 2 months, where cilostazol was diluted from 0.5% CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt), which was used as a vehicle control. Another six mice were treated with 0.5% CMC for 2 months. Finally, the animals were sacrificed and blood and ascending aorta samples were taken. The Animal Ethics Board of National Defense Medical Center (Taipei, Taiwan) approved all animal experimental procedures.

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.
