Leptin Metabolic Effects Mediated by IRS2

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In separate experiments, IRS2flox/flox (n=9), Nestin-cre (n=4), IRS2/POMC-cre (n=7) and IRS2/Nestin-cre mice (n=7) at 22 weeks of age were placed individually in metabolic cages (AccuScan Instruments Inc, Columbus, OH) equipped with oxygen sensors to measure oxygen consumption (VO2) and motor activity. VO2 was measured for 2-min at 10-minute intervals continuously 24-hours a day using a Zirconia oxygen sensor. Motor activity was determined using infrared light beams mounted in the cages in X, Y and Z axes. After the mice were acclimatized to the new environment for approximately 4 to 6 days, VO2 and motor activity were recorded for 3 consecutive days. Then, the mice were lightly anesthetized with isoflurane and an osmotic minipump (model 1007D, Durect Corp.) was placed intraperitoneally to deliver leptin (4 µg/kg/min) for 7 days. Mice were followed for an additional 5-day post-treatment period.
To further investigate the role of IRS2 signaling on glucose homeostasis and to test the hypothesis that leptin-mediated activation of IRS2 plays an important role in mediating the chronic antidiabetic actions of leptin, we performed additional chronic leptin infusion experiments in STZ-diabetic IRS2/Nestin-cre and IRS2flox/flox mice.

Subcutaneous Alzet Pump Delivery of GNE-R-140

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A subcutaneous Alzet pump (Model 1007D, Durect Corporation, Cupertino, CA, USA) with an infusion rate 0.5 µL/h and an infusion duration of 7 days was implanted on the back mice, following the MSKCC IACUC protocol. Two groups of mice (treated and control) were established, and both groups were implanted with the Alzet pumps. In the treated group of mice, the Alzet pumps were loaded with 18 mg GNE-R-140 in 100 µL of 100% DMSO, delivering 100 mg/kg/day to ensure a blood concentration of 10 mM over the duration of the experiment. In the control group, the Alzet pumps were loaded with DMSO only.

To assess the chronic central effects of the k-OR selective antagonist, PF-04455242, WT, and Oprk1−/−animals were subjected to OVX 21 days after the surgery PF-04455242 (3.4 nmol/day) or vehicle (VH) were delivered i.c.v. via brain infusion kit 3 (1–3 mm) for 7 days through a catheter tube connecting the i.c.v. cannula to an osmotic minipump (model 1007D, Alzet Osmotic Pumps; DURECT, Cupertino, CA, USA), as previously described [43 (link),46 (link),50 (link)]. The mini pump was inserted in a subcutaneous pocket on the dorsal surface. The incision was closed with sutures, and mice were kept warm until full recovery. Body weight, food intake, lipid metabolism, and thermogenesis/browning were analyzed.

Modeling IUGR and OIR via Gestational TXA2 Infusion

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To model HDP and UPI with resultant IUGR in offspring, we infused a thromboxane A2-analog (TXA2, U-46619) instilled into micro-osmotic pumps in the last week of the mouse gestation as previously described.21 (link) On embryonic day 12.5, heterozygous (hWtEPOR/ mWtEpoR) dams were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of ketamine (40 μg/g) and xylazine (8 μg/g). Micro-osmotic pumps (model 1007D, 0.5 μl/h, Durect Corporation, Cupertino, CA) containing either vehicle (0.5% ethanol) or 2000 ng/h of U-46619 (TXA2 analog, catalog no. 16450, Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI) were then placed into the retroperitoneum through a 1 cm incision. Dams with TXA2 infusion developed hypertension within 24 h of implantation. Implants remained for the remainder of gestation, which is ~20 days in C57Bl/6J mice. Upon birth, litters from implanted heterozygous dams were cross-fostered to non-implanted dams to reduce potential confounding effects from surgery. During our model inception,21 (link) we showed that fetal 11-dehydrothromoboxane B2 level, a stable TXA2 metabolite, was no different in pups born to dams receiving sham or U-46619 infusion, therefore the analog did not cross the placenta to affect the pups directly. As such, we do not believe that a direct interaction between TXA2 and EPO would occur in this postnatal model of IUGR and OIR.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To assess the long-term central effects of the IL18 system on food intake, body composition and iWAT morphology, 10–11 weeks old Il18r1-KO and WT mice (4–7 mice/genotype/treatment) were infused ICV with saline or recombinant IL18 (20 μg/mouse/7 days, Sino Biological, Inc., Beijing, China)56 (link). For this purpose, brain infusion canulae were placed stereotaxically into the lateral ventricle as previously described56 (link). A catheter tube was connected from the brain infusion cannula to the osmotic minipump (model 1007D, total volume 100 μL, flow rate 0.5 μL/h; Alzet Osmotic Pumps, Durect, CA, USA) flow moderator.

Peptide Therapy for Post-MI Cardiac Function

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A 24 amino acid peptide (YQPPSTNKNTKSQRRKGSTFEEHK), corresponding to the unique C-terminal E-domain of the human MGF isoform, was synthesized and purified to >90% via HPLC (Genescript Corp, NJ). The peptide was stabilized by amidating the C-terminus and switching the arginines at positions 14 and 15 to the D-stereoisomer. Micro-osmotic pumps (Alzet, Model 1007D, Durect Corp, CA) were loaded with vehicle (saline) or peptide dissolved in vehicle to allow an infusion rate of 4.5 mg/Kg/day for 2 weeks. Pumps were implanted subcutaneously in anesthetized mice through a small incision between the scapulae [8 (link)]. Mice were randomized following MI into three groups. In one group, pumps containing peptide were implanted immediately following MI (acute phase) and removed after 2 weeks. In the second group, pumps containing peptide were implanted at 8 weeks post-MI (chronic phase). The third group pumps containing saline were implanted immediately following MI (acute phase) and removed after 2 weeks. Cardiac function was analyzed in all groups of mice at 10 weeks post-MI.

HR, systolic blood pressure (SBP), MAP and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were measured in conscious, freely moving mice using radiotelemeters (Data Sciences International), as we previously described [32 (link)]. Daily recordings (1 every 4 min, 360 recordings/mouse per day) started after complete recovery from surgery (1–2 weeks) and were carried on continuously for 4 days (baseline). Angiotension II (Ang II, 1mg/kg body weight/day) was then administered via osmotic minipumps (model 1007D, Alzet, Durect Corporation, Cupertino, CA, USA) for the following 7 days. The average of 360 daily recordings for each mouse was calculated before and after Ang II.

ICV infusions were performed using, 7-d osmotic pumps (Alzet, model 1007D; Durect) attached to brain infusion cannula (Alzet, Brain infusion kit 3; Durect). Cannulae were stereotaxically implanted in the right ventricle at coordinates: 0 mm AP and −0.9 mm ML to the bregma. For antimitotic experiments, 2% of Ara-C (Sigma-Aldrich) or vehicle was infused for 7 d, and then animals were either euthanized for immediate analysis or pumps were removed and mice euthanized 21 d later.

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.
