Assessing Glucose Uptake in PA-Induced Insulin Resistance

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HepIR mouse liver cells were cultured in MEMα (Gibco) culture medium supplemented with 4% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco) 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 U/ml streptomycin (Gibco) at 37°C. Cells were pre-incubated in serum-free medium for 4 h and then treated with 200 uM PA to induce insulin resistance.
The glucose uptake of HepIR cells was evaluated using the fluorescent glucose 2-[N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3diazol-4-yl) amino]-2-deoxyglucose (2-NBDG) (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, United States). The effect of GvAEx on glucose uptake was assessed in PA induced insulin-resistant HepIR cells. Briefly, PA induced insulin-resistant HepIR cells were treated with GvAEx (0.1–2 mg/ml) or vehicle in glucose-free DMEM for 1 h. After aspirating the supernatant, the cells were incubated with insulin (10 nM) (Solarbio, Beijing, China) or saline for 10 min. The cells were then gently rinsed with HBSS and incubated with 100 ug/mL 2-NBDG at 37°C for 50 min. The cells were washed with HBSS and collected for further analysis. The fluorescence intensity of the cells was detected by a microplate reader (excitation/emission = 465/540 nm). Relative 2-NBDG (%) uptake was calculated using the following equation (intensity of treatment/intensity of normal control) × 100%.

The SREBP-1, PPARα antibody and compound C were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA, USA). 2-[N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino]-2-deoxyglucose (2-NBDG) was purchased from Cayman Chemical company (Ann Arbor, MI, USA). Sodium oleate was used to create an in vitro model for hepatic steatosis. Briefly, 30.4 mg sodium oleate was dissolved in 1 mL methanol to obtain 100 mM stock solution.

Glucose Uptake Assay in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were implanted with one scaffold into either the left or right epididymal fat pad. The contralateral fat pad served as an internal control. In addition, naïve mice were included in the experiment for comparison. The glucose uptake assay was performed two weeks after scaffold implant. Mice were fasted 6 hours prior to the start of the experiment. 2-(N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino)-2-deoxyglucose (2-nbdg) (Cayman Chemical) was reconstituted in sterile PBS at a concentration of 10 mg/mL. Each mouse received 100 mg/kg of 2-nbdg via an intraperitoneal injection. After two hours, tissues were harvested and washed thoroughly in PBS before imaging on an IVIS Lumina III at 480/570 nm (excitation/emission). Manual ROIs were drawn around each tissue. The measurements are presented as the total radiant efficiency from a tissue normalized by that tissue’s weight.

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.
