U Michigan - Western Blot Resource Report Resource Website |
Jeff Hodgin | 10.17504/protocols.io.56hg9b6 | Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers | Immunoblotting (also called Western Blotting) is a technique to separate and identify individual proteins in a protein mixture (e.g. a cell lysate). In Immunoblotting (Western blotting) the protein mixture is applied to a gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis) to sort the proteins by its molecular weight size in individual protein bands. The separated protein bands are then transferred to a nitrocellulose transfer membrane. The proteins adhere to the membrane in the same pattern as they have been separated due to interactions of charges. To visualize the protein of interest the membrane is commonly first probed using a primary protein- specific antibody followed by a labeled secondary antibody. The specificity of the antibody-antigen interaction enables a target protein to be identified in the midst of a complex protein mixture. The bound antibodies are then detected by western blotting substrate (e.g. Pierce ECL Western Blotting Substrate), and then visualized by using adeveloping film (HyBlot CL Autoradiography Film) in the darkroom. The thickness of the band corresponds to the amount of protein present. | University of Michigan - Ann Arbor | https://mmpc.org/shared/document.aspx?id=316&docType=Protocol | 2 | 2019 | Jeff Hodgin 2019.

UC Davis - Protein Carbonyl Resource Report Resource Website |
Peter Havel | 10.17504/protocols.io.63hhgj6 | Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers | Summary: Cayman Chemical's Protein Carbonyl Colorimetric Assay Kit is a convenient colorimetric assay for the measurement of oxidized proteins. Protein samples are derivatized by making use of the reaction between 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) and protein carbonyls. Formation of a Schiff base produces the corresponding hydrazone which can be analyzed spectrophotometrically at 360-385 nm. This assay can be used to measure oxidized protein in plasma, serum, cell lysates, and tissue homogenates. | University of California, Davis | https://mmpc.org/shared/document.aspx?id=123&docType=Protocol | 2 | 2019 | Peter Havel 2019.

Vandy - Hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic Clamp Resource Report Resource Website |
Li Kang | 10.17504/protocols.io.yyafxse | Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers | Summary:Mice with catheters implanted in the jugular vein (infusions) and carotid artery (sampling) are used for this procedure (V3002). The hyperinsulinemic, euglycemic clamp or “insulin clamp” has been used in a variety of species to assess insulin action. In an insulin clamp, the rate of glucose infused to maintain euglycemia is an index of whole body insulin sensitivity. Isotopes can be used during an insulin clamp to distinguish between insulin’s effects on endogenous glucose production and glucose utilization, or to examine insulin’s effects on specific tissues and metabolic pathways. The insulin infusion rate used in a study depends on a number of factors such as whether the experiment requires a sensitive analysis of endogenous glucose production, or whether the mouse is known to be unusually insulin resistant (e.g. ob/ob). Finally the insulin clamp technique, especially when isotopes are involved, is most quantitative under steady state conditions. Therefore, clamps should be of a duration (~2 h) that is sufficient for the actions of insulin to obtain steady state. The section that follows describes, a) the technical procedures used on the day of a clamp experiment; b) preparation of insulin and tracer infusates; and c) analyses of plasma and tissue radioactivity. Familiarity with these procedures combined with laboratory demonstration provides the investigator with the necessary background to clamp the conscious mouse. | Vanderbilt University | https://mmpc.org/shared/document.aspx?id=239&docType=Protocol | 1 | 2019 | Li Kang 2019.

UC Davis - Radial Arm Water Maze Resource Report Resource Website |
Mari Golub | 10.17504/protocols.io.yv2fw8e | Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers | The radial arm water maze (RAWM) measures spatial learning by combining both a water maze and radial arm maze (RAM).

Peter Havel | 10.17504/protocols.io.ybvfsn6 | Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers | Summary: Aspartate transaminase (AST) also known as aspartate aminotransferase or (sGOT) is a metabolic enzyme expressed primarily in the liver. Elevation of AST levels is an indication of liver damage and has been associated with liver injury. AST levels are monitored routinely in patients with liver diseases. AST is also a very useful tool for preclinical investigation of experimental drug formulations and AST levels are commonly used to monitor and attenuate the hepatotoxic effects of experimental drugs in rodents. | University of California, Davis Metabolism and Endocrinology Core | https://mmpc.org/shared/document.aspx?id=290&docType=Protocol | 1 | 2019 | Peter Havel 2019.

UC Davis - Gut Microbiome Analysis (Illumina-20K reads, 2X300bp) Resource Report Resource Website |
Trina Knotts | 10.17504/protocols.io.ynpfvdn | Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers, Microbiome Centers | The work of Gordon and colleagues (i.e., Nature. 2006 Dec 21;444(7122):1027-31) has shown that obesity can result in marked shifts in the gut microbiome in mice and other models including humans. While the role of the microbiome remains to be fully elucidated, the gut microbiota can no longer be ignored as a potentially important factor when assessing metabolic phenotype. This service involves 16S gene variable region (V3-V4 using primer pair 515F-806R) pair end sequencing (2x300bp) by Illumina (20,000 avg seq read depth) of feces, cecal, or other GI contents. Sequences can be processed through a bioinformatics pipeline (Qiime) to taxonomically classify them and to assess alpha and beta diversity of the community. In addition, Principal Components Analysis (PCA) or partial least squares- discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) can leverage variances in the relative microbial abundances to better understand how specific microbes contribute to separation by group. Correlational analyses can identify which variables of host metadata associate with specific microbes. The Core’s gut microbiome assay will employ this approach to uncover unique microbiota fingerprints in test mice. One caveat is that with fecal samples, patterns are only a surrogate for actual gut microbiota patterns, and may not exactly reflect the intestinal populations. | University of California, Davis | https://mmpc.org/shared/document.aspx?id=288&docType=Protocol | 1 | 2019 | Trina Knotts 2019.
