Glucose Tolerance Test in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Glucose tolerance tests were performed by injection of intraperitoneal glucose of 5 μL/g BW of 20% dextrose (Sigma-Aldrich G8769l; 1 mg of glucose per gram of body mass). Mice were fasted for ~4 h before glucose injection. Baseline glucose was measured before the injection and 15, 30, 60, and 120 min after via tail bleed with a glucometer (Contour Next EZ). To determine fasting serum glucose and insulin levels, blood was drawn from the heart after cervical dislocation and placed at room temperature for ~10 min to clot before centrifugation at 12,500 × g for 10 min at 4°C. The top layer (serum) was placed in a separate tube and stored at -80°C until further analysis. To establish the glucose levels in the collected serum, a mouse glucose assay kit (Crystal Chem 81692) was used (according to manufacturer recommendations) and read using an Epoch plate reader (Take3, BioTek, Winooski, VT) at optical density (OD) 505 . For serum insulin analyses, a lowrange ultra-sensitive mouse insulin ELISA kit (Crystal Values are shown as a percentage of the total amount of protein in the diet.
Chem 90080) was used (using manufacturer guidelines) and read using an Epoch plate reader (Take3, BioTek, Winooski, VT) at OD 450/630 . Homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance was calculated as previously described (Bowe et al., 2014) (link).

500 μl blood/RNA later (50 μl blood, 450 μl RNALater) were centrifuged and resuspended in 250 μl of DEPC-treated water. RNA extraction was then performed using TRIzol (Life Technologies) reagent following the manufacturer’s protocol and the RNA pellet was finally resuspended in 20 μl DEPC-treated water. Quality and concentration of isolated RNA was evaluated using the microplate spectrophotometer Take3 (Synergy HT, BIOTEK). RNA samples were treated with TURBO™ DNase (Ambion) to remove contaminant genomic DNA and cDNA synthesis was performed using the High Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription kit (Life Technologies), according to the manufacturer’s instruction. The efficacy of DNAse treatment was tested for each sample by RT minus PCR.

Canine Genotyping via CYB5R3 Sequencing

Genomic DNA was extracted from blood or buccal swab with a commercial kit (DNEasy Blood and Tissue Kit; Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and quantified and checked for quality via spectrometry (Take3; BioTek Instruments Inc., Winooski, VT). The region around the CYB5R3 729 position was amplified via PCR in 20 μl reactions: 10 μl DNA polymerase master mix (AmpliTaq Gold or DreamTaq; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Madison, WI), 1 μl genomic DNA template, 0.5 μM forward primer (5′ TCCTCAGGTGAGATGGGGAA 3′), 0.5 μM reverse primer (5′ CAGAAGGCCAGCTCTCTGTC 3′). Cycling conditions were as follows: initial denaturation at 95°C for 5 minutes, then 30 cycles of 94 °C for 15 seconds, 60°C for 30 seconds, 72°C for 1 minutes, with a final extension of 72°C for 7 minutes. Amplicons were checked for size (564 bp) with gel electrophoresis and sequenced via Sanger sequencing through the University of Wisconsin Biotechnology Center. For each dog, genotype was determined by inspection of electrophoretograms.

To quantitatively evaluate oxidation-related gene expression, after exposure to different doses of microwave radiation, the total RNA was extracted from treated and untreated E. coli samples using an RNeasy Mini Kit and converted to cDNA using reverse transcriptase and random primers (GoScript Reverse Transcription System, Promega, Madison, WI, USA). The same amount of total RNA was used for cDNA synthesis (Take3, Biotek, Winooski, VT, USA) as described in a previous report52 (link). The resulting cDNA was used for qPCR analysis (CFX96, Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) with primers (Macrogen, Seoul, South Korea) of 16 s rRNA (the RNA component of the small subunit, used as the house-keeping gene), SoxS, OxyR, KatG, RpoE, GroES, and DnaK.

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.
