Tumor cell lines were plated at a concentration of 100,000 cells/ml in the corresponding media. The following day tumor cells were replaced with fresh serum free medium with ACLYi, AKTi (GSK690693), AKTi-1/2 and C38 Mab and then stimulated with α2M* and acetate. Medium samples were collected for the assay. Glucose and lactate were measured using colorimetric kits according to the manufacturer's instructions. High sensitivity Glucose assay kit and Lactose assay kit were obtained from Sigma.

Blood glucose concentrations were measured through tail veil bleeding with glucose analyzer (GM9, Analox Instruments Ltd, UK). The concentrations of serum triacylglycerides (TAGs) and nonesterified fatty acids (NEFAs) were measured using TAG reagent (Sigma-Aldrich, T2449) and free glycerol reagent (Sigma-Aldrich, F6248), and a Lab Assay NEFA kit (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Japan, 294-63601), respectively. Serum ketone body concentrations and serum alanine were determined by Ketone Body Assay (Sigma-Aldrich, MAK134) and Alanine assay kit (Sigma-Aldrich, MAK001), respectively. Milk lactose was measured by Lactose Assay Kit (Sigma-Aldrich, MAK017). Pyruvate carboxylase activity was determined by Pyruvate Carboxylase Activity Assay Kit (Boxbio, AKSU070M). Brain ATP levels were determined by ATP Assay Kit (Beyotime, S0026).

Serum urea concentration was determined using the QuantiChrom urea assay kit (BioAssay Systems, Hayward, CA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The intra-and interassay CV were 3.2 and 2.8%, respectively. Plasma glucose concentration was determined as previously described (Loiselle et al., 2009) using a glucose assay kit (Sekisui Diagnostics P.E.I. Inc., Charlottetown, PE, Canada) with a modification of the glucose oxidase/peroxidase method described by Trinder (1969) . The intra-and inter-assay CV were 1.9 and 1.3%, respectively. Plasma NEFA and BHB concentrations were determined as described in Ollier et al. (2014) using NEFA-HR(2) reagents (Wako Diagnostics, Richmond, VA) and a BHB reagent set (Pointe Scientific Inc., Canton, MI), respectively. The intraand inter-assay CV were 3.8 and 4.0% for NEFA and 2.3% and 2.5% for BHB, respectively. Plasma lactose concentration was determined using a lactose assay kit (Sigma-Aldrich, Oakville, ON, Canada) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The intra-and interassay CV were 2.4 and 12.3%, respectively.

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.
