Pharmacological Validation of Lipase Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
AM6545, a peripherally-restricted CB1R neutral antagonist, was given by IP injection at 10 mg per kg (Northeastern University Center for Drug Discovery, Boston, MA, USA). Devazepide (Tocris, Bristol, UK), a CCKA receptor antagonist, was given IP at 0.3 mg per kg. Both drugs were dissolved in vehicle consisting of 7.5% DMSO, 7.5% Tween80, and 85% sterile saline, and warmed in a water bath to ensure solubility. All control conditions were matched, using vehicle in place of drugs and injections occurred 1 h prior to behavior recording (1,600 h). A 72-h washout period was allowed between drug treatments. JZL184 (Tocris, Bristol, UK), a potent inhibitor of monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL), was used to prevent monoacylglycerol hydrolysis in the diacylglycerol lipase (DGL) assay and to validate our MGL assay (described below). Tetrahydrolipstatin (Tocris, Bristol, UK), a lipase inhibitor used routinely to study DGL activity (Gregg et al., 2012 (link); Jung et al., 2012 (link)), was used to validate our DGL assay.

Zebrafish Model of Intestinal Inflammation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Animal research was conducted with approval from The University of Auckland Animal Ethics Committee. Zebrafish larvae were anaesthetized with 120 µg/mL tricaine (Sigma-Aldrich) prior to mounting for imaging.
Zebrafish embryos were obtained from natural spawnings and raised at 28.5° in E3 embryo medium supplemented with methylene blue until 1 dpf. E3 used after 1 dpf did not contain methylene blue, which has antimicrobial activity. Induction of enterocolitis by DSS or TNBS exposure was carried out essentially as previously described [20 (link)]. All analyses were performed at 6 dpf unless otherwise noted. Dexamethasone (Sigma-Aldrich), devazepide (Tocris Biosciences) and haloperidol (Sigma-Aldrich) were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Cabergoline (Sigma-Aldrich) was dissolved in ethanol. Lorglumide and sincalide (Sigma-Aldrich) were dissolved in water.

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.
