TG production was measured in 3-h fasted mice after intravenous administration of Triton WR-1339 (500 mg/kg, Sigma, Saint Louis, MO, USA), an inhibitor of lipolysis. Postprandial TG clearance was measured after 10 weeks of ad libitum access to 20% fructose supplementation to drinking water or with transgenic expression of Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP), a genetic model of impaired TG clearance [44 (link)]. Transgenic CETP mice (C57BL/6-Tg(CETP)UCTP20Pnu/J, Strain: 001929, Jackson Laboratories), were bred with Δhep mice to generate fl/fl (CETP+/SHPfl/fl) and Δhep (CETP+/SHPΔhep) mice. TG clearance was measured in 12-h fasted mice after oral gavage of olive oil (200 μL/mouse) with serial tail blood samples over 7–8 h.

Modulating Androgen Receptor in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All mouse experiments were approved under the Vanderbilt University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. Mice were housed in 12hr light/dark cycles in temperature and humidity-controlled facilities with ad-libitum access to chow diet and water. Transgenic CETP were purchased from the Jackson Laboratories (C57BL/6-Tg(CETP)UCTP20Pnu/J, Stock No: 001929). Non-transgenic littermates were used as WT controls. Male mice used in this study were aged 3–4 months old to ensure complete sexual development. All animals were sacrificed between 8 and 11 am to minimize circadian variation in gene expression. Adeno-associated virus serotype 8 (AAV8) containing short-hairpin RNA (shRNA) specific to mouse androgen receptor was purchased from Vector Biolabs (shADV-252885) with the shRNA under control of a U6 promoter and a GFP reporter under control of a CMV promoter. AAV8 has been shown to have tropism for liver (Tenney et al., 2014 (link)). 1.8E12 GC/mouse was injected intravenously under brief isoflurane anesthesia (5%). Euthanasia was achieved using carbon dioxide and confirmed with cervical dislocation.

Androgen Receptor Knockdown in Transgenic CETP Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All mouse experiments were approved under the Vanderbilt University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. Mice were housed in 12 h light/dark cycles in temperature and humidity‐controlled facilities with ad libitum access to chow diet and water. Transgenic CETP were purchased from the Jackson Laboratories (C57BL/6‐Tg(CETP)UCTP20Pnu/J, Stock No: 001929). Non‐transgenic littermates were used as WT controls. Male mice used in this study were aged 3–4 months old to ensure complete sexual development. All animals were sacrificed between 8 and 11 am to minimize circadian variation in gene expression. Adeno‐associated virus serotype 8 (AAV8) containing short‐hairpin RNA (shRNA) specific to mouse androgen receptor (AR) was purchased from Vector Biolabs (shADV‐252,885, Malvern, PA) with the shRNA under control of a U6 promoter and a green fluorescence protein (GFP) reporter under control of a cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter. AAV8 has been shown to have tropism for liver (Tenney et al., 2014). 1.8E12 GC/mouse was injected intravenously under brief isoflurane anesthesia (5%). Euthanasia was achieved using carbon dioxide and confirmed with cervical dislocation.

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.
