Analysis of serum samples was performed as in [44 (link)]. Briefly, enzymatic colorimetric kits were used for the determination of serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose (QCA, Barcelona, Spain). Serum insulin and leptin levels were measured using a mouse/rat insulin ELISA kit (Mercodia, Barcelona, Spain) and a rat leptin ELISA kit (Millipore, Barcelona, Spain). The homeostasis model assessment-estimated insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated using the following formula [46 (link)]: HOMA-IR = glucose × insulin/22.5.

All rats were euthanised by CO 2 inhalation at the end of the experimental period and blood was collected by cardiac puncture. Serum was separated by centrifugation at 1500 rpm (239 g) in a Rotina 46 R centrifuge (Hettich) for 10 min at 4°C and stored at -70°C. For the short-term experiment only, serum levels of total Ca, P and total alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were measured using a Beckman Coulter analyzer (AU 680; Beckman Coulter International).

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.
