Blood samples were obtained under the fasted condition and glucose level was determined using a Precision QID glucometer (MediSense Inc., Bedford, MA). Serum cholesterol and triglycerides were assayed using Cholestech LDX Lipid monitoring System (Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh PA). Serum fatty acids were determined using the EnzyChrom™ free fatty acid kit (BioAssay systems, Hayward, CA). Serum fasting insulin was assayed using the Ultra Sensitive Insulin ELISA Kit (Crystal Chem, Inc., Downers Grove, IL, USA). Fasting whole-body insulin sensitivity was estimated with the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) according to the formula [fasting plasma glucose (mg/dL) × fasting plasma insulin (μU/mL)]/405.

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.
