Summary: Glucose tolerance test measures systemic clearance of glucose following an intraperitoneal bolus injection of 20% dextrose. This experiment measures insulin sensitivity in awake mice assuming that there are no alterations in the animal’s pancreatic -cell function and insulin secretion. Insulin sensitivity is altered in obese mice.

Summary: Summary:Glucose tolerance test with insulin secretion measures systemic clearance of glucose and systemic appearance of insulin following an intraperitoneal bolus injection of 20% dextrose. This experiment measures insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion (pancreatic -cell function) in awake mice assuming that there are no alterations in systemic insulin clearance. Insulin sensitivity and pancreatic -cell function are altered in obese mice.

Summary:
This experiment measures serum and plasma concentrations of non-esterified fatty acids using a 96-well kit. The experiment involves a coupled reaction to measure non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) which ultimately forms a purple product that absorbs light at 550nm. This allows the concentration of NEFA to be determined from the optical density measured at 540~550nm. Serum fatty acids levels reflect systemic lipid metabolism, lipid digestion/absorption, and lipid clearance. Serum fatty acids levels are altered in obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes.
