Brain FFA content was measured using the FFA quantification kit from BioVision following the manufacturer’s instructions. Fluorescence was measured using Corning black 96-well polypropylene assay plates and the Microplate Multimode Reader with green fluorescence module (Ex 525 nm; Em 580–640 nm). FFA concentrations were calculated using a standard curve for palmitic acid ranging from 0 to 0.02 nmol/µL.

Quantification of Free Fatty Acids

The levels of FFAs in the extracts of the xenograft and the sera from mice were quantified in triplicate using the FFA quantification kit (Biovision, Mountain View, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, 10  mg of the xenografts were homogenized with 200  μL chloroform‐triton X‐100 (1% Triton X‐100 in pure chloroform), and the extracts were centrifuged at 500 rpm for 1 min. The purified lipids in the lower phase were collected, air dried and dissolved in 200  μL FA assay buffer. FAs were converted to their coenzyme A (CoA) derivatives, and the subsequent oxidized reaction and concomitant generated color were measured at 570  nm. The concentration was calculated using a PA standard curve, and the secreted FFA in the CM of the co‐culture plates of the cells was measured.

Blood glucose was measured using a One-Touch Ultra2 blood glucose meter (Life Scan, Milpitas, CA). Plasma TG and cholesterol concentrations were measured with the Infinity TG Reagent and Infinity Cholesterol Reagent (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA), respectively. Concentrations of plasma free fatty acids (FFA) were determined with a FFA Quantification Kit (BioVision, Mountain View, CA).

The hepatic and cardiac TC and TG contents were determined by Wako kits (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.). For the measurement of free fatty acid (FFA) content, tissues were homogenized in 200 µl of chloroform with 1% Triton X‑100. Fatty acids were extracted in the chloroform fraction and N2-dried to remove the chloroform. Then, the hepatic and cardiac tissue FFA contents were determined by FFA quantification kit (BioVision, Mountain View, CA, USA)23 (link).

In vivo and ex vivo lipolysis assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To assess in vivo lipolysis, serum free fatty acids (FFAs) were measured in cardiac blood obtained from non-fasted mice before and 20 min after i.p. injection of CL316243 (1 mg/kg). Ex vivo and in vitro lipolysis was measured as described previously36 (link)50 (link) with some modifications. Briefly, for ex vivo analysis, adipose tissues were surgically removed from male and female mice, weighed, and washed with cold PBS; fat depots were incubated with CL316243 (1 μM) or vehicle in Krebs-Ringer Bicarbonate Buffer (KRBH, Sigma) containing 1% fatty acid-free BSA (GenDEPOT) and glucose (2.5 mM) for 2 h at 37 °C with mild shaking. After incubation, FFA and glycerol were measured using a glycerol-free reagent (Sigma) and the FFA quantification kit (BioVision, Mountain View, CA, USA) and normalized to the weight of adipose tissue samples.

Adipose tissue explants were obtained from the EWAT, cut into small pieces, and placed in a culture plate with pre-warmed PBS containing penicillin (100 U/ml) and streptomycin (100 mg/ml) to remove connective tissue and blood vessels. Explants (20 mg) were transferred to 24-well plates and cultured in 200 µl DMEM with L-glutamine (2 mM), penicillin (50 U/ml), streptomycin (50 mg/ml), and 2% fatty acid-free bovine serum albumin for 2 hours at 37 °C in the presence of absence of acetaldehyde (100 uM). FFA released in the culture medium was measured by a FFA Quantification Kit (BioVision, Mountain View, CA).

Quantifying Free Fatty Acids and Acetylcholinesterase in Mouse Retinae and Optic Nerves

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Retinae and optic nerves were collected immediately after the mice were euthanized, snap frozen and placed on dry ice, and stored at −80 °C in a freezer. NP-40 extracts were prepared with Bullet blender (Next Advance, BBX24). Free fatty acids (FFA) were measured with the FFA Quantification kit as described [34 (link),55 (link)] and as per manufacturer’s instructions (Biovision, Mountain View, CA). A colorimetric assay kit for acetylcholinesterase activity was used as directed per manufacturer (Biovision) and previously described [34 (link)]. Data were normalized against protein amounts in NP40-solubilized tissue extracts used for each assay. Protein concentrations of NP40-solubilized extracts were determined by the Bradford assay (BioRad).

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.
