Blood ketone levels were measured using the blood glucose and ketone monitoring system (FreeStyle Optium Neo, Abbott) according to the manufacturers instructions. Briefly, after sterilization with 70% ethanol, the tail tips of mice under tests were cut using a clean scissor, and a drop of blood was collected. Using the test strip (Abbott), levels of -hydroxybutyrate or glucose were determined.
Test strip
Manufactured by Abbott
A test strip is a thin, flat piece of material, often made of plastic or paper, that is used to perform various types of chemical analyses. It typically contains reagents or other substances that react with a sample to produce a measurable response, such as a color change or an electrical signal. The core function of a test strip is to facilitate the detection and measurement of specific analytes or substances within a sample, enabling quick and convenient analysis.

Blood ketone levels were measured using the blood glucose and ketone monitoring system (FreeStyle Optium Neo, Abbott) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The blood was collected between 2 and 3 p.m. on the measuring day. Briefly, after sterilized with 70% ethanol, the tail tips of mice under test were cut by a clean scissor and a drop of blood was collected. Using the test strip (Abbott), levels of β‐hydroxybutyrate were determined.
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.
