Quantifying Muscle and Serum IGF-I

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Serum IGF-I concentrations were measured using a Mouse/Rat IGF-I Quantikine ELISA Kit (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For the measurement of muscle IGF-I concentrations, 50 mg of gastrocnemius muscle were homogenized with 1 ml of lysis buffer containing 50 mM Tris–HCl (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, 1 mM NaF, 1 mM Na3VO4, and 1 mM PMSF. After incubation on ice for 30 min, the samples were centrifuged at 15,000 rpm for 10 min and subsequently for 30 min at 4 °C. IGF-I concentrations of the supernatants were measured and the results were adjusted by the protein concentrations of the supernatants.

Measuring IGF-1 Secretion in Dunning G Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Dunning G cells (1.5 × 105) were seeded in six well plates in RPMI 1640 + GlutaMAX (Gibco, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY, US) supplemented with 10% FBS and 250 nM dexamethasone, and 24 h later medium was replaced with phenol-free αMEM (Gibco) supplemented with 0.1% albumin. After another 24 h, medium was replaced by fresh medium, with or without the addition of 10 nM DHT. Levels of IGF-1 released from Dunning G cells was measured in the culture medium after 72 h using the Mouse/Rat IGF-1 Quantikine ELISA kit (MG100, R&D Systems) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Glucose, Insulin, and FFA Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood glucose level was determined by Glucose Colorimetric Assay kit (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) and collected during GTT. Because of the higher glucose concentration in diabetic animals, samples from STZ and STZ + Hex groups were diluted 1:20, while 1:5 dilution was applied to control and control + Hex groups. Circulating levels of IGF-1, insulin, and FFAs were determined by Mouse/Rat IGF-1 Quantikine ELISA kit (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), Mouse/Rat Insulin ELISA kit (EMD Millipore, St. Charles, MI, USA), and nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA-C) Assay (Wako, Osaka, Japan), respectively. All procedures were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Blood and Brain Tissue Collection for Metabolic Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood samples were collected from the retroorbital vein under isoflurane anesthesia and immediately transferred to tubes containing ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA; 10 μl of 0.2 M EDTA/tube) and aprotinin (0.1 mg/tube, Merck KGaA). The blood samples were centrifuged 3000×g for 5 min at 4 °C, and the plasma was separated and stored at −80 °C until assayed. After blood collection, the mice were killed by decapitation. The brain was rapidly removed from the skull and placed on an ice-cooled paraffin plate for dissection of the hippocampus as previously described (Nakao et al., 1986 (link)). The hippocampus was immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80 °C until analyzed. Glucose (Glucose C2; FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation, Osaka, Japan), insulin (Morinaga Ultra Sensitive Mouse/Rat Insulin ELISA Kit; Morinaga Institute of Biological Science, Yokohama, Japan), corticosterone (Corticosterone Enzyme Immunoassay Kit; Arbor Assays, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) and IGF-1 (Mouse/Rat IGF-1 Quantikine ELISA Kit; R&D Systems, Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA) were measured using commercially available kits.

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.
