Lipid Transport and Fatty Acid Oxidation in Amygdala Neurons

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In vitro lipid transport assay. Primary amygdala neurons were seeded in a 12-well plate and grew until they were 80% confluent. After treatment, 0.5 mCi well−1 of 14C oleic acid (OA) from PerkinElmer was added. After 4 h of incubation, the cells were washed and harvested, and the total radioactivity was quantitated by scintillation counting [34 (link)].
Rate of fatty acid oxidation from tissues. The fatty acid oxidation (FAO) rate was measured by evaluation of palmitate oxidation using published methods with minor modifications [35 (link), 36 (link)]. In brief, the amygdala tissue was homogenized, and 30 μl of tissue homogenate were then incubated in 370 μl of DMEM containing 0.5% BSA/0.2 mM palmitate/0.5 μCi/ml 1-14C-palmitate at 37 °C for 2 h. The incubation was stopped by the injection of 0.2 ml of 40% perchloric acid into the tube to acidify the medium and liberate the CO2. The CO2 was trapped by a filter paper saturated with 20 μL of 1 M NaOH located on the top of the cap. After overnight isotopic equilibration at room temperature, the filter was removed, and the trapped 14CO2 and 14C acid-soluble products generated by the oxidation of [14C] palmitate were counted to calculate the total palmitate oxidation. The protein concentrations were measured, and the results were expressed as nanomole per milligram proteins per hour (nmol/mg/h).

The flasks were immediately cupped with rubber stoppers containing an attached central well with a 3 × 3 cm filter paper soaked in 300 μL KOH. After 1 h of incubation at 37 °C, 200 μL of 70 % perchloric acid was injected into the flask. The flasks were incubated for an additional 1 h at 37 °C with shaking at 70 Hz. The filter papers containing the trapped [14C] CO2 were transferred to liquid scintillation tubes and assessed for radioactivity in a liquid scintillation counter.

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.
