IPGTT's were carried out according to the IMPReSS protocols (https://www.mousephenotype.org/impress/protocol/87/8 ) using 2 g glucose per kg body weight. Mice were fasted overnight and blood sampled under a local anesthetic at 0 min (baseline) and 60 and 120 min post glucose injection. Whole blood glucose was measured using an AlphaTRAK meter and test strips (Abbott Animal Health, UK). At the 13 week time point male plasma samples were also run on a GM9 glucose analyzer (Analox Instruments, UK) which is more sensitive than the AlphaTRAK meter. Plasma insulin was assayed using a Mouse insulin ELISA kit (Mercodia, Sweden).
Alphatrak meter and test strips
Manufactured by Abbott
Sourced in United Kingdom
The AlphaTRAK meter and test strips are a blood glucose monitoring system designed to assist in the management of diabetes. The meter is used to measure the level of glucose in a small sample of blood, and the test strips are required for this measurement. The core function of this product is to provide accurate and reliable blood glucose readings to help individuals with diabetes monitor and manage their condition.

The test was undertaken at the same time of day (morning) and blood sampled from the lateral tail vein under local anesthetic. Whole blood glucose was measured using an AlphaTRAK meter and test strips (Abbott Animal Health). Plasma insulin was assayed using a Mouse insulin ELISA kit (Mercodia).

Animals were fasted for 4 h and blood sampled under a local anesthetic at 0 min (baseline), prior to injection of 1 IU insulin per kg of body weight, and subsequently at 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90 min. Whole blood glucose was measured using an AlphaTRAK meter and test strips (Abbott Animal Health).

Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance tests were performed at 26 weeks following a 16 h fast. Specifically, fasted mice received an i.p. administration of 2 g/kg glucose and blood sampled under a local anesthetic at 0 min (baseline), 15, 30, 60 and 120 min post glucose injection. Whole blood glucose was measured using an AlphaTRAK meter and test strips (Abbott Animal Health, UK).
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.
