Mice from experiment II were fasted from the start of light-cycle for 6 hours prior to IPGTT. Baseline blood glucose was recorded in duplicate at T0 by tail bleed (Accu-Chek glucometers and strips; Roche) and 1 g D-glucose per kg of bodyweight was delivered by intraperitoneal injection. Blood glucose was subsequently recorded in the same manner at 15, 45, 90 and 120 min post glucose loading. In addition, β-cell function was assessed by IR index following quantification of insulin (Mouse Insulin ELISA, Mercodia) in plasma bleeds 0 and 15 min. The equation used to calculate IR index was as above.
Accu chek glucometers and strips
Manufactured by Roche
Sourced in United Kingdom
The Accu-Chek glucometers and strips are blood glucose monitoring devices manufactured by Roche. The glucometers are used to measure and display the levels of glucose in a person's blood, while the accompanying test strips are used to collect and analyze the blood sample. The core function of these products is to provide users with accurate and reliable information about their blood glucose levels.

Rats from experiment I were fasted overnight prior to OGTT. Baseline blood glucose was recorded in duplicate at T0 by tail bleed (Accu-Chek glucometers and strips; Roche, UK) and 2 g/kg 25% (w/v) dextrose was delivered intragastrically by oral gavage. Blood glucose was subsequently recorded in the same manner at 15, 30, 45, 60 and 120 min post glucose loading. In addition, β-cell function was assessed by insulin resistance index following quantification of insulin (Rat Insulin ELISA, Mercodia) in serum bleeds at 0 and 15 min. The equation used to calculate insulin resistance (IR) index was as follows39 :
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.
