Vandy - Hyperinsulinemic-Hypoglycemic clamp Resource Report Resource Website |
Li Kang | 10.17504/protocols.io.yycfxsw | 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 hypoglycemic clamp involves a constant rate insulin infusion with a fall in blood glucose that is controlled by feed back from regular glucose measurements. Blood glucose is then clamped at a hypoglycemic level. The hypoglycemic clamp is used to test hypoglycemic counterregulation and the functionality of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. | Vanderbilt University | https://mmpc.org/shared/document.aspx?id=235&docType=Protocol | 1 | 2019 | Li Kang 2019.

UC Davis - Gut Microbiome Analysis (454-3K reads) Resource Report Resource Website |
Trina Knotts | 10.17504/protocols.io.ynkfvcw | Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping 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 (V1-V3 or V3-V4 directed primers) sequencing by Titanium 454 (3000 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=106&docType=Protocol | 1 | 2019 | Trina Knotts 2019.

Vandy - Biliopancreatic Diversion in Mice Resource Report Resource Website |
Vance L. Albaugh | 10.17504/protocols.io.zb4f2qw | Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers | This is the protocol for the biliopancreatic diversion procedure in the mouse. This procedure is historically thought to be a malabsorptive procedure and has several variations in the human. In brief, the biliary and pancreatic secretions are physically separated from gastrointestinal chyme flow until a point near the terminal small bowel. In theory this leads to significant malabsorption, though when this procedure is done clinically many times a gastric restriction component is also added. | Vanderbilt University | https://mmpc.org/shared/document.aspx?id=292&docType=Protocol | 1 | 2019 | Vance L.

UC Davis - Total Cholesterol (TC) Protocol Resource Report Resource Website |
Peter Havel | 10.17504/protocols.io.ygeftte | Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers | Cholesterol esters are enzymatically hydrolysed by cholesterol esterase to cholesterol and free fatty acids. Free cholesterol, including that originally present, is then oxidized by cholesterol oxidase to cholest-4-en-3one and hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide combines with HBA and 4-aminoantipyrine to form a chromophore (quinoneimine dye) which may be quantitated at 500-550nm. | University of California, Davis | https://mmpc.org/shared/document.aspx?id=92&docType=Protocol | 1 | 2019 | Peter Havel 2019.

UC Davis - Glutathione Resource Report Resource Website |
Peter Havel | 10.17504/protocols.io.ykcfusw | Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers | Summary:Cayman's GSH assay kit utilizes a carefully optimized enzymatic recycling method, using glutathione reductase for the quantification of GSH. The sulfhydryl group of GSH reacts with DTNB (5,5'-dithio-bis-2-nitrobenzoic acid, Ellman's reagent) and produces a yellow colored 5-thio-2-nitrobenzoic acid (TNB). The mixed disulfide, GSTNB (between GSH and TNB) that is concomitantly produced, is reduced by glutathione reductase to recycle the GSH and produce more TNB. The rate of TNB production is directly proportional to this recycling reaction which in turn is directly proportional to the concentration of GSH in the sample. Measurement of the absorbance of TNB at 405 or 412 nm provides an accurate estimation of GSH in the sample. GSH is easily oxidized to the disulfide dimer GSSG. Because of the use of glutathione reductase in the Cayman GSH assay kit, both GSH and GSSG are measured and the assay reflects total glutathione. The kit can also be used to measure only GSSG by following an alternative protocol. GSH measurement can be done in plasma, tissue samples, and cultured cells using this kit. Nearly all samples require deproteination before assay. | University of California, Davis | https://mmpc.org/shared/document.aspx?id=125&docType=Protocol | 1 | 2019 | Peter Havel 2019.

UC Davis - Superoxide Dismutase Resource Report Resource Website |
Peter Havel | 10.17504/protocols.io.ywdfxa6 | Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers | Significant amounts of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in cellular and extracellular environments are crucial for the prevention of diseases linked to oxidative stress. Mutations in SOD account for approximately 20% of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cases. SOD also appears to be important in the prevention of other neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's Diseases. The reaction catalyzed by SOD is extremely fast, having a turnover of 2 x 10^6 M-1sec-1 and the presence of sufficient amounts of the enzyme in cells and tissues typically keeps the concentration of superoxide very low. Quantification of SOD activity is therefore essential in order to fully characterize the antioxidant capabilities of a biological system. The Cayman Chemical SOD Assay kit is a fast and reliable assay for the measurement of SOD activity from plasma, serum, tissue homogenates, and cell lysates. SOD activity is assessed by measuring the dismutation of superoxide radicals generated by xanthine oxidase and hypoxanthine in a convenient 96 well format. A key feature of the kit is the inclusion of a quality-controlled SOD standard. The standard curve generated using this enzyme provides a means to accurately quantify the activity of all three types of SOD (Cu/Zn-, Mn-, and Fe-SOD). Each kit contains sufficient reagents to assay 41 samples in duplicate and includes assay buffer, sample buffer, radical detector, SOD (standard), xanthine oxidase, a 96 well plate, and complete instructions. | University of California, Davis | https://mmpc.org/shared/document.aspx?id=129&docType=Protocol | 1 | 2019 | Peter Havel 2019.

Louise Lantier | 10.17504/protocols.io.yxcfxiw | Mouse Metabolic Phenotyping Centers | Summary: The exercise stress test is a maximal exercise test used to calculate VO2 max. Mice are run to complete exhaustion as the treadmill speed is increased every three minutes (See table 1). During the test, direct measurements of the oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide output by the mouse are made, which are then used to calculate VO2 max, VCO2, and RER. VO2 max refers to the maximum amount of oxygen that the mouse can utilize during maximal exercise. | Vanderbilt University | https://mmpc.org/shared/document.aspx?id=237&docType=Protocol | 1 | 2019 | Louise Lantier 2019.
