B6.Cg-Tg(Vil-cre)1000Gum/J mice were purchased from the Jackson Laboratory. C57BL/6N-Sdhatm2a(KOMP)Wtsi mice were obtained from the Knock Out Mouse Project (KOMP) repository, University of California, Davis and bred to ACTFLPe mice to excise the FRT-flanked region. The resulting Sdhafl/fl mice were bred to Vil1-Cre mice to create Vil1-Cre Sdhafl/fl (SdhaΔ/IEC) mice (32 (link)). Then, 12 to 15 week-old mice were used in our experiments. The mice were maintained under specific pathogen-free conditions following procedures approved by the University of Michigan Committee on the Use and Care of Animals, which are based on the University of Michigan Laboratory Animal Medicine guidelines.
