| Description: | Glucose in tail blood was measured using a glucometer (One-Touch Basic; Lifescan, CA). For glucose tolerance tests (GTTs), mice were fasted for 10 hours and then injected with 20% D-glucose (2 mg/g body weight) and the blood glucose was monitored immediately before and at 15, 30, 60 and 120 mins following the injection. For insulin tolerance tests (ITTs), 4-h fasted animals were given insulin (0.75 mU/g) and blood glucose was measured immediately before and at 30, 60 and 120 minutes postinjection. Serum insulin, cholesterol, triglycerides (Stanbio Labs, TX), BDNF (Abnova), IGF1 and IGFBPs (R&D Systems) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. |
