Eight weeks old female Sprague-Dawley strain rats (n = 53; Charles River, St Constant, PQ, Canada), weighing 176–189 g upon their arrival were housed individually and had ad libitum access to food (chow diet, 12·5% lipid, 63·2% CHO (carbohydrates) and 24·3% protein; kJ from Agribrands Canada, Woodstock, Ontario, Canada) and tap water. Their environment was controlled in terms of light (12 h light–dark cycle starting at 06:00 AM), humidity and room temperature (20–23°C). All experiments described in this report were conducted according to the directives of the Canadian Council on Animal Care after institutional approval Comité de déontologie de l’expérimentation sur les animaux (CDEA).

Eight week old female Sprague-Dawley strain rats (n = 65; Charles River, St Constant, PQ, Canada), weighing 187-194 g upon their arrival were housed individually and had ad libitum access to food and tap water. Their environment was controlled in terms of light (12 h light-dark cycle starting at 06:00 AM), humidity and room temperature (20-23°C). Body weight and food intake were monitored bi-weekly from the start of experiment. All experimental procedures were conducted according to the protocols approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of the University of Montreal in agreement with The Canadian Council on Animal Care's rules (CCAC-CCPA).
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.
