Glucose tolerance tests (GTT) were conducted after o/n fasting. Mice were injected i.p. with 1 g of glucose per/kg bodyweight and blood glucose was monitored at 0, 15, 30, 60, and 120 min using a OneTouch Ultra glucometer (Lifescan Inc). Insulin tolerance tests (ITT) were conducted after 3 hr fasting. Mice were injected i.p. with 2U of insulin/kg bodyweight (Humulin R; Eli Lilly) and blood glucose was monitored at 0, 15, 30, 60, and 90 min using a OneTouch Ultra glucometer (Lifescan Inc). Real-time metabolic analyses were conducted in a Comprehensive Lab Animal Monitoring System (Columbus Instruments). CO2 production, O2 consumption, RQ (relative rates of carbohydrate versus fat oxidation), and ambulatory counts were determined for six consecutive days and nights, with at least 24 h for adaptation before data recording. Total body composition analysis was performed using an EchoMRI-100™ (Echo Medical Systems, LLC).

At 12 weeks post-surgery all mice were overnight fasted and euthanized by decapitation. 500 µl of trunk blood was collected in microtubes containing 83.5 µl EDTA (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) and 15 µl of a Protease inhibitor cocktail (5 µl of each of the following: Protease inhibitor, Sigma, St. Louis, MO; DPP-IV inhibitor, EMD Millipore, St. Charles, MO; Pefabloc SC, Roche, Indianapolis, IN) and immediately centrifuged at 4° C and 3000 RPM for 10 minutes to separate the plasma from the whole blood. Plasma aliquots were frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at −80° C prior to processing. Plasma was subjected to ELISA for measurement of insulin and leptin concentrations (MMHMAG-44K Milliplex map mouse metabolic hormone magnetic bead panel – metabolism multiplex assay, EMD Millipore, St. Charles, MO). One drop of unprocessed tail vein blood was used for baseline glucose measurement (Onetouch Ultra Glucometer, LifeScan INC, Milpitas, CA; Onetouch Ultra Strips, LifeScan INC, Milpitas, CA). One drop of unprocessed trunk blood was used for baseline glucose measurement (Onetouch Ultra Glucometer, LifeScan INC, Milpitas, CA; Onetouch Ultra Strips, LifeScan INC, Milpitas, CA).

For GTT experiment, mice were fasted for 8 h and measured fasting blood glucose on tail vein using OneTouch Ultra glucometers (LifeScan). Then the mice were injected with 1 g/kg glucose intraperitoneally and blood glucose was recorded at 15, 30, 60, and 120 min. For ITT experiment, mice fasted for 6 h and measured fasting blood glucose. Then the mice were injected with 0.75 U/kg insulin subcutaneously and blood glucose was recorded at 15, 30, 60, 120 min.

At the end of week 21, mice were fasted for either 18 h for a glucose tolerance test or 6 h for an insulin tolerance test. Blood was acquired from the tail vein and the fasting blood glucose level were measured (time 0) using One-Touch Ultraglucometers (Life Scan). The animals were then given either 2 g/kg glucose or 0.75 U/kg insulin (Regular Humulin, Eli Lilly and Company) by intraperitoneal injection. Blood glucose curves were drawn based on the glucose in blood samples drawn at 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, and 120 min post injection, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated.

The mice were fasted for 18 h before the glucose tolerance test, and they were fasted for 6 h before insulin tolerance test. The mice were injected intraperitoneally with either 2 g kg−1 glucose or 0.75 U kg−1 insulin (Regular Humulin, Eli Lilly and Company). The glucose measurements were taken up to 2 h post injection using One-Touch Ultra glucometers (LifeScan). The serum insulin levels were measured by a mouse insulin ELISA kit (Crystal Chem).

Plasma levels of (i) TAG and total cholesterol were determined using the colorimetric enzymatic assays from Erba Lachema (Brno, Czech Republic), and (ii) NEFAs were assessed with a NEFA-HR(2) kit from Waco Chemicals GmbH (Neuss, Germany). Blood glucose levels were measured by OneTouch Ultra glucometers (LifeScan, Milpitas, CA, USA), and plasma insulin levels were determined by the Sensitive Rat Insulin RIA Kit (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). Liver TAG content was estimated in ethanolic KOH tissue solubilisates as before [13 (link)].

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.
