U Mass - Protein metabolism Resource Report Resource Website |
Jason Kim | 10.17504/protocols.io.x4ffqtn | Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers | Hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp is the gold-standard method to assess insulin sensitivity. The hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp is widely used in clinics and laboratories to measure insulin action on glucose utilization in humans and animals for clinical and basic science research. Incorporation of radioactive-labeled glucose during hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps makes it possible to measure glucose metabolism in individual organs in awake mice. Impaired insulin sensitivity (insulin resistance) is a major characteristic of obesity and an early requisite event in the development of type 2 diabetes. | University of Massachusetts | https://mmpc.org/shared/document.aspx?id=146&docType=Protocol | 1 | 2019 | Jason Kim 2019.

UC Davis - Non-Esterified Fatty Acids Protocol Resource Report Resource Website |
Peter Havel | 10.17504/protocols.io.yutfwwn | Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers | Summary: The Wako enzymatic method relies upon the acylation of coenzyme A (CoA) by the fatty acids in the presence of added acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS). The acyl-CoA thus produced is oxidized by added acyl- CoA oxidase (ACOD) with generation of hydrogen peroxide, in the presence of peroxidase (POD) permits the oxidative condensation of 3-methy-N-ethyl-N(β-hydroxyethyl)-aniline (MEFA) with 4-aminoantipyrine to form a purple colored adduct which can be measured colorimetrically at 550 nm. | University of California, Davis | https://mmpc.org/shared/document.aspx?id=95&docType=Protocol | 1 | 2019 | Peter Havel 2019.

UC Davis - Alanine transaminase Resource Report Resource Website |
Peter Havel | 10.17504/protocols.io.ybtfsnn | Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers | Summary: Alanine transaminase (ALT) also known as alanine aminotransferase or (sGPT) is a metabolic enzyme expressed primarily in the liver. Elevation of ALT levels is an indication of liver damage and has been associated with liver injury. ALT levels are monitored routinely in patients with liver diseases. ALT is also a very useful tool for preclinical investigation of experimental drug formulations and ALT 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=289&docType=Protocol | 1 | 2019 | Peter Havel 2019.

U Mass - Energy balance – food intake, energy expenditure, physical activity Resource Report Resource Website |
Jason Kim | 10.17504/protocols.io.xwwfpfe | Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers | Summary:The TSE PhenoMaster/LabMaster Metabolic Cage system is used to measure indirect calorimetry, food/water intake, energy expenditure, and physical activity in individually housed awake mice. The experiment noninvasively measures VO² consumption and VCO² production rates in individual mice using metabolic chambers and calculates the respiratory exchange ratio (respiratory quotient) to reflect energy expenditure. Metabolic cage measurement is conducted continuously for 72 hours (3 days) to account for acclimation of mice housed in home cages during the study. With our high-speed Siemens O²/CO² sensing unit, indirect calorimetry measurements may be performed at a 20-min interval for a full 12-cage study. | University of Massachusetts | https://mmpc.org/shared/document.aspx?id=149&docType=Protocol | 1 | 2019 | Jason Kim 2019.

U Michigan - Nerve Conduction Velocity Resource Report Resource Website |
Eva Feldman | 10.17504/protocols.io.x96fr9e | Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers | To confirm the presence of diabetic neuropathy, nerve conduction velocity (NCV) studies are performed. The animals are anesthetized with isoflurane to prevent discomfort. Body temperature is monitered with a dermal temperature probe and maintained at 32ºC with a warming lamp during NCV. Body temperature is maintained at 37ºC after NCV using a warming pad to ease animal stress from anesthetic. The nerve studies last less than 30 min per rat or mouse. The electrodes are cleaned with 70% alcohol between animals to maintain pathogen-free status. | University of Michigan - Ann Arbor | https://mmpc.org/shared/document.aspx?id=320&docType=Protocol | 1 | 2019 | Eva Feldman 2019.

UC Davis - HbA1c Protocol Resource Report Resource Website |
Peter Havel | 10.17504/protocols.io.ynrfvd6 | Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers | Direct Enzymatic HbA1c test is an enzymatic assay in which lysed whole blood samples are subjected to extensive protease digestion with Bacillus sp protease. This process releases amino acids including glycated valines from the hemoglobin beta chains. Glycated valines then serve as substrates for specific recombinant fructosyl valine oxidase (FVO) enzyme, produced in E. coli. The recombinant FVO specifically cleaves N-terminal valines and produces hydrogen peroxide. This, in turn, is measured using a horseradish per-oxidase (POD) catalyzed reaction and a suitable chromagen. The HbA1c concentration is expressed directly as %HbA1c by use of a suit-able calibration curve in which the calibrators have values for each level in %HbA1c. | University of California, Davis | https://mmpc.org/shared/document.aspx?id=89&docType=Protocol | 1 | 2019 | Peter Havel 2019.
