Mouse insulin elisa

Manufactured by Crystal Chem
Sourced in United States

The Mouse Insulin ELISA is a laboratory equipment used to measure the concentration of insulin in mouse samples. It employs the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) technique to quantify the amount of insulin present in the sample.

Measuring Plasma Glucose and Gut Hormones

Blood glucose concentrations were determined using a glucometer (Elite, Bayer Inc.) from fresh tail-vein blood. In order to determine active levels of GLP-1, mice were orally administered a single dose of Intralipid (20%) containing D-glucose (30%) via oral gavage and blood collected 20 min post-dose (Althage et al., 2008 (link); Lu et al., 2007 (link)) into pre-chilled tubes containing EDTA, aprotinin and DPP-4 inhibitor. Plasma insulin was measured with a mouse insulin ELISA (Crystal Chem Inc., Downers Grove, IL) and active GLP-1 determined with the GLP-1 (Active 7–36) ELISA (ALPCO, Salem, NH). Plasma GIP and leptin were analyzed in 100 μl of plasma (final bleed) using a MILLIPLEX Mouse Gut Hormone Magnetic Bead Panel (Millipore, Billerica, MA). HOMA-IR, a measure of liver insulin sensitivity, was quantified by: fasting insulin (μU/mL) x fasting glucose (mg/dL)/405 (Haffner et al., 1997 (link)).

Fed and fasted blood samples were collected from mice via tail vein or trunk bleeds using a capillary blood collection system (Sarstedt, Nümbrecht) and blood glucose was measured using a Contour glucometer (Bayer Corp). Fasted blood samples were collected after a 16 h overnight fast. Plasma insulin levels were analysed using a mouse insulin ELISA (Crystalchem Inc.).

Serum cholesterol and triglycerides were measured with enzymatic colorimetric assay kits (Wiener Lab, Rosario, Argentina). Serum insulin and adiponectin levels were assessed by ELISA using the ultrasensitive mouse insulin ELISA (catalog 90080) and mouse adiponectin ELISA kit (catalog 80569) from Crystal Chem (Downers Grove, IL, USA).
The homeostasis model assessment of basal insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was used to calculate an index from the product of the fasting concentrations of serum glucose (mmol/l) and serum insulin (μU/ml) divided by 22.5 (Matthews et al., 1985 (link)). Lower HOMA-IR values indicated greater insulin sensitivity, whereas higher HOMA-IR values indicated lower insulin sensitivity (insulin resistance).

Metabolic Biomarkers in Whole Blood

Blood glucose levels were determined from whole venous blood using an automatic glucose monitor (Bayer Contour, Bayer, Germany). Leptin and insulin levels in serum were measured by ELISA using mouse standards according to manufacturer’s guidelines (Mouse Leptin ELISA; Crystal Chem, IL, USA/Mouse Insulin ELISA; Crystal Chem, IL, USA). Serum non-esterified free fatty acids (NEFA) were quantified with according to the manufacturer’s instructions (WAKO Chemicals GmbH, Germany). Liver and serum triglyceride concentrations were determined in 6 hour fasted animals. Liver triglycerides were extracted as previously described46 (link). Liver and serum triglyceride content was quantified according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Sigma, USA).

Serum Biomarker Measurement Protocol

The blood glucose was measured by a glucometer (CareSens, Seoul, Korea). To avoid diurnal variation in blood glucose, all measurements were conducted in the same time slot every week. The blood samples were left to stand for 30 min at room temperature, followed by centrifugation at 2000 rpm for 10 min at 4 °C. Serums were collected and stored at −80 °C until analysis. Serum creatinine concentration was determined by Mouse Creatinine Assay (Crystal Chem, Elk Grove Village, IL, USA) as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Serum insulin and TGF-β1 concentrations were determined by Mouse Insulin ELISA and Mouse TGF-β1 ELISA (Crystal Chem), respectively.

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.
