Mitochondrial Respiration in Brown Adipocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary brown adipocytes from different groups of mice were plated in seahorse plate and induced to mature brown adipocytes as described above. After differentiation, brown adipocytes were starved for 8 hrs, followed by treating the cells with or without 100 ng/mL IL18 for 24 h. Oxygen consumption rate (OCR) was performed on fully differentiated brown adipocytes (at day 8 of differentiation) with the Agilent Seahorse XF96 cellular Flux Analyzer (Agilent Technologies, Inc., Santa Clara, CA). Mitochondrial respiration was quantified using the Mito-stress test protocol. Four measurements were obtained under basal conditions and upon addition of isoproterenol (1 µM, 10009951, Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI), oligomycin (1 µg/mL, 75351), fluoro-carbonyl cyanide phenylhydrazone (FCCP, 1 µg/mL, C2920), rotenone (3 µM, R8875), and antimycin A (2 µg/mL, A8674) from Sigma-Aldrich. Non-mitochondrial respiration was subtracted to obtain basal, basal uncoupled, isoproterenol-stimulated uncoupled and maximal mitochondrial respiration.

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.
