Human C3A liver cells (ATTC Cat. No. CRL-10741) were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA). Orientin (≥ 97.0% purity), MTT, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St Louis, MO, USA), while 2-Deoxy-[3H]-D-glucose and 14C palmitate were obtained from American Radiolabeled Chemicals (St Louis, MO, USA). Eagle’s minimum essential medium (EMEM), Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline (DPBS, pH 7.4 with calcium and magnesium), penicillin-streptomycin, and ViaLight plus ATP kits were from Lonza (Basel, Switzerland). PCR probes, beta-2 microglobulin (B2m), Pi3k, Irs1, Glut2, Cpt1, and Ampk were purchased from Thermofisher (Waltham Massachusetts, USA). All other cell culture reagents were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St Louis, MO, USA).

Primary hepatocytes were isolated and plated overnight onto 24-well plates (125,000 cell/well) using M199 medium plus 10% dextran/charcoal stripped FBS. The next day the cells were washed twice with warm PBS and the medium was changed to serum-free M199 for 2h. 500µl of serum-free M199 medium containing 0.4 µCi [14C]-palmitate (American Radiolabeled Chemicals Inc; 55 μCi/μmol), 200 µM palmitate conjugated with FA-free BSA, and 1mM carnitine were added to each well. The plate was sealed with parafilm and incubated at 37°C for 3h. 400 µl of medium were then transferred to acidification vials containing 200 μL 1 M perchloric acid and filter papers soaked with 20 μL of 1 M NaOH to trap the [14C]CO2 produced by complete oxidation of radiolabeled palmitate. The tubes were shaken for 1 h at room temperature. Partially oxidized acid soluble metabolites ([14C]ASM) were separated by centrifugation at 14,000 g for 10 min at 4 °C. Aliquots of the supernatants (400 μL) and paper filters were placed into separate vials and subjected to scintillation counting. Total oxidation rates were calculated as sum of partial and complete oxidation rates.

Aspalathin (ca. 98%, batch SZI-356-54) and PPAG (99% purity; batch: MC1(2)-248–91D) were obtained from High Force Research (Durham, UK). Embryonic ventricular rat heart derived H9c2 cardiomyoblasts (CRL-1446) were from American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA); 14C-palmitate and 2-deoxy-[3H]-D-glucose were from American Radiolabeled Chemicals (St. Louis, MI, USA); fetal bovine serum (FBS) and horse serum were from Biochrom (Berlin, Germany); Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM), Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS), and Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) were from Lonza (Basel, Switzerland); 2′, 7′-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) fluorescent dye was from Cell Biolabs Inc. (San Diego, CA, USA); and 7-amino-4chloromethylcoumarin (CellTracker Blue CMAC) and TRIzol reagent were from Invitrogen Corp. (Carlsbad, CA, USA). All other chemicals, including 5,5′6,6′-tetrachloro-1,1′,3,3-tetraethylbenzimidazolyl-carbocyanine iodide (JC-1) and propidium iodide stain were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MI, USA).

Measuring Muscle Fatty Acid Oxidation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rates of fatty acid oxidation in muscle tissues were measured by degradation of 14C-palmitate (American Radiolabeled Chemicals; St. Louis, MO, USA) into 14C acid soluble metabolites (ASM) and 14C-labeled CO246 (link),48 . Briefly, gastrocnemius muscle strips were collected from 6 h fasted mice. Tissues were kept on ice no longer than 30 min. Muscle tissues were minced and homogenized in a Dounce homogenizer followed by centrifugation for 10 min at 420 × g. Supernatants were transferred to microtubes containing 0.4 μCi 14C-palmitate/500 μM palmitate conjugated with 0.7% fatty acid-free BSA and incubated at 37 °C for 30 min. 14C-labeled CO2 produced by TCA cycle was captured onto filter paper soaked with 1 M NaOH and 14C-labeled ASM were separated with 1 M perchloric acid. 14C-labeled CO2 in the filter paper and 14C-labeled ASM in the supernatant were dissolved in Ecoscint H (National Diagnostics; Atlanta, GA, USA) and were counted using a liquid scintillation counter (Beckman Coulter; Danvers, MA).

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.
