Tail cuff plethysmography

Manufactured by Kent Scientific
Sourced in United States, United Kingdom

Tail-cuff plethysmography is a non-invasive technique used to measure blood pressure in small animals. It utilizes a cuff placed around the animal's tail to detect changes in blood volume, which are then converted into blood pressure measurements.

FITC-Sinistrin Clearance Assay for GFR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
GFRs were measured by FITC-labeled sinistrin clearance obtaining seven consecutive blood draws over the time course of 75 min after retro-orbital 1% FITC sinistrin injection (56.1 μg sinistrin/g body weight; Fresenius Kabi). Plasma clearance of FITC-sinistrin was measured fluorometrically (λex = 488 nm/λex = 538 nm) from blood samples obtained via the saphenous vein at seven postinjection time points from 3 to 75 min. Systolic BP measurements were obtained by tail-cuff plethysmography (Kent Scientific). Mice were trained in the system for 3 consecutive days during the same time of day before BP measurements were recorded.

Measurement of Blood Pressure and Urinary Biomarkers in Rats

Non-invasive blood pressure was measured on several occasions in conscious rats restrained in a chamber with a controlled temperature between 32 and 34°C. Blood pressure was measured using a tail-cuff plethysmography (Kent Scientific Corporation, Torrington, CT, USA). Urine was sampled during metabolic cage observations for 24 h at the end of the study. Blood was sampled via cardiac catheterization before the animals were terminated. Creatinine was analyzed enzymatically. Albumin was analyzed immunologically. Both performed at laboratory services, St. Olav's Hospital.

Systolic blood pressure was monitored by noninvasive tail‐cuff plethysmography (Kent Scientific Corp, Torrington, CT) 2 days before the periarterial application of CaCl2 or NaCl (day 0) and weekly for 3 weeks, as detailed in Data S1.

Noninvasive Blood Pressure Monitoring

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood pressure was monitored by non-invasive tail-cuff plethysmography (Kent Scientific Corporation, Torrington, USA). Blood pressure assessment began 3 days before minipump implantation in order to habituate the mice to the procedure and continued at three different intervals (days 0, 4, and 7) during 1 week. Mice were placed on a heating platform for 10 min before assessment of blood pressure. A minimum of five measurements were taken until the blood pressure stabilized and, following stabilization, a minimum of eight measurements were taken per mouse and averaged for analysis. Blood pressure was monitored by the same person at the same time of the day.

Tail-Cuff Plethysmography for Systolic BP

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Systolic blood pressure was monitored by tail‐cuff plethysmography (Kent Scientific Corp., USA) as detailed in Data S1. Animals were habituated to the procedure 3 days before blood pressure assessment. The measures were taken 24 hours before CBF analysis.

Indirect Blood Pressure Measurement in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Indirect systolic blood pressure (SBP) and heart rate (HR) were determined by tail-cuff plethysmography (Kent Scientific, Litchfield, CT, USA) in WT or THOP1−/− mice that were fed an SD or a HD. The mice were familiarized with the apparatus for a total of seven days before the measurements were taken. The measurements of SBP and HR were obtained in the 20th and 24th week of experimentation with different diets [73 (link)].

Tail-cuff Plethysmography for Murine BP

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SBP was monitored in awake mice using tail-cuff plethysmography (Kent Scientific Corp, Torrington, CT, USA). Mice were warmed on a heating pad preheated at 37 °C for ten minutes before and during blood pressure recordings. Animals were habituated to the procedure three days before blood pressure assessment. Right before the implantation of osmotic minipumps (day 0) and weekly until the NVC analysis, ten blood pressure assessments per mouse were measured and averaged. Blood pressure was monitored by the same person at the same period of the day.

Blood pressure was measured at the end of ASO treatment using tail-cuff plethysmography (Kent Scientific) during light cycle.(Kruyer, Soplop, Strickland, & Norris, 2015 (link)). An average of 3 readings was obtained for each animal during measurement.

Chronic L-NAME Hypertension Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Nω-Nitro-L-arginine methyl ester hydrochloride (L-NAME, Sigma-Aldrich) was dissolved in drinking water so that each mouse consumed approximately 100 mg/kg body weight/day. Control mice consumed only water. Treatment was initiated at 3–4 months-of-age and continued for 3 or 6 months. BP was measured one week prior to and every week throughout treatment by tail cuff plethysmography (Kent Scientific). An average of three BP readings was obtained for each animal during measurement.

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.
