high-fat diet-induced obesity mouse (strain not reported)

High-fat feeding brings about a phenotype similar to the human disease, characterized by obesity (after 10 weeks), insulin resistance (hyperinsulinemia after 10 weeks and glucose intolerance after 12 weeks) and hyperlipidemia (after 10 weeks). In diet-induced obesity mice the leptin axis remains intact but resistant.

研究设计

小鼠经口灌胃葡萄糖负荷的耐受试验。禁食 4–6 小时;普通饮食按 1 g/kg、高脂饮食 4 周以上按 0.5 g/kg 给予 50% 葡萄糖溶液;负荷前及负荷后 15、30、60、90、120 分钟测定血糖。不同组别与样本量按具体研究设计确定,本方案不预设实验分组。

结局指标

实验步骤

禁食 Fasting begins first thing in the morning (around 9am). Fast mice for 4-6 hours before OGTT begins. Transfer mice to clean cage and wire top. Keep water bottles during the fasting period. 1. If using High Fat diet (HFD), save food to give back at the end of the OGTT. 1. mark tails with a sharpie for easier identification during OGTT. 口服葡萄糖负荷 Weigh mouse to obtain body weight for dose calculations. Calculate bolus dose of glucose (**1g/kg**). Weight of mouse (g) x 2 = ul sterile glucose (50% dextrose) solution *If using HFD for 4 weeks or more, use 0.5g/kg (weight of mouse (g) x 1 = ul sterile glucose (50% dextrose) solution) 口服葡萄糖负荷 Prepare syringes using 1cc syringe and 18G oral gavage needle. Load all syringes with calculated glucose dose and position in front of home cage. 口服葡萄糖负荷 Prior to the delivery of the sterile glucose (50% dextrose) solution, a time “zero” blood glucose level must be measured. Restrain mouse and clean tail with 70% ethanol/gauze. Extract a small amount of blood from the tail vein onto One Touch Ultra blood glucose strips used with the One Touch Ultra 2 blood glucose monitoring system. Blood can be collected into microvette tubes that can be used to extract plasma which can be assayed for plasma insulin (see step 9 for plasma collection). Microvette tubes are blood collection tubes with a capillary. Tap tube until all the blood is collected in the tube. Place on ice until plasma collection. 口服葡萄糖负荷 Administer the correct dose of sterile glucose (50% dextrose) solution using the syringe and gavage needle. - Restraint of the Mouse, avoiding an excessively tight grip of the mouse, as this will induce a panic response. Ensure that the mouse cannot bite you and cannot move its head. - Gravity alone should be used to move the cannula down the esophagus. While gliding the cannula, rotate slightly as the cannula goes past the epiglottis and into the esophagus.The mouse should swallow the cannula, and this can be observed. - Inject the fluid slowly. - The cannula is then gently removed and the animal is returned to its cage. 口服葡萄糖负荷 Begin timing from the point of successfully delivering the sterile glucose (50% dextrose) solution. 口服葡萄糖负荷 Test and record the blood glucose level (see step 4) at 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after the initial glucose delivery. Record each value and the condition of the animal on the Glucose Tolerance Test record sheet. Extract a small amount of blood from the tail vein at 15, 30, 60 and 120 minutes for plasma; skip blood collection at 90 minutes to ensure not to exceed 0.007 ml blood/ g body weight. 口服葡萄糖负荷 Return food and environmental enrichments to cages. 血浆采集 Place tubes into pre-chilled centrifuge. Centrifguge for 2 mins at 2000 rpm. 00:02:00 4 °C 血浆采集 Remove the callipary-lid and dispose in biohazard bin. Place the base lid and seal the microvette (click position). 血浆采集 Centrifuge at 4°C for 10 mins at 10 000 rpm. 00:10:00 4 °C 血浆采集 Using a pipette, transfer the plasma (top transparent layer) to a clean and labelled tube. Store plasma samples at -20°C until assayed. 血浆胰岛素测定 Assay plasma insulin with the STELLUX Chemi Rodent Insulin ELISA kit (ALPCO #80-INSMR-CH01) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Include the kit standards and quality controls in each assay and read the plate by the kit's chemiluminescence procedure.

脱蜡(Dewaxing) 石蜡切片置于二甲苯中脱蜡 3 次,每次 00:03:00。 复水(Rehydration) 石蜡切片依次置于 100% 乙醇中 3 次、每次 00:03:00,再置于 95% 乙醇中 1 次、00:03:00,随后用水漂洗。 苏木素核染色(Hematoxylin staining) 石蜡切片以苏木素染液染色 00:00:20,随后在流水下冲洗 00:01:00。 分化与返蓝(Differentiation and bluing) 石蜡切片置于返蓝液中 00:01:00,随后在流水下冲洗 00:01:00;此步使细胞核呈现蓝色。 伊红染色(Eosin staining) 石蜡切片以伊红复染 00:00:10;此步使细胞质成分与结缔组织纤维呈现粉红色。 脱水与透明(Dehydration and Clearing) 石蜡切片依次置于 95% 乙醇中 00:02:00、100% 乙醇中 2 次、每次 00:02:00,随后置于二甲苯中 2 次、每次 00:02:00。 封片(Mounting) 石蜡切片以 Permount 封片介质加盖玻片封固。

生物学特性

适用研究问题
Whether high-fat diet-induced obesity reproduces the human NAFLD/metabolic phenotype, and whether restoration of leptin sensitivity translates into meaningful weight loss.
模型局限
This diet regimen induces only minimal fibrosis after extended exposure (36-50 weeks), and the genetic background is not reported as a single defined strain, so time course and magnitude depend on the specific study.
