Glucose (GTT) and insulin tolerance tests (ITT) were performed on mice after fasting for 5-6 h and acclimated to the testing room with access to water. Mice were injected intraperitoneally (IP) with either D-glucose (Sigma, 0.75-1.5 g per kg of body weight) or recombinant human regular insulin (0.5-1 U per kg of body weight); blood glucose levels were measured via tail sampling after fasting for a baseline measurement (t = 0) and again at t = 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 mins post glucose or insulin bolus using a glucometer (Freestyle Freedom Line, Abbott Diabetes Care Inc, Alameda CA).

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.
