Parabiosis in mice: a detailed protocol.
Parabiosis is a surgical union of two organisms allowing sharing of the blood circulation. Attaching the skin of two animals promotes formation of microvasculature at the site of inflammation. Parabiotic partners share their circulating antigens and thus are free of adverse immune reaction. First described by Paul Bert in 1864(1), the parabiosis surgery was refined by Bunster and Meyer in 1933 ...
متن کاملDifferences in early acetaminophen hepatotoxicity between obese ob/ob and db/db mice.
Clinical investigations suggest that hepatotoxicity after acetaminophen (APAP) overdose could be more severe in the context of obesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. The pre-existence of fat accumulation and CYP2E1 induction could be major mechanisms accounting for such hepatic susceptibility. To explore this issue, experiments were performed in obese diabetic ob/ob and db/db mice. Preli...
متن کاملHydrogen sulfide improves vessel formation of the ischemic adductor muscle and wound healing in diabetic db/db mice
Objective(s): It has been demonstrated that hydrogen sulfide plays a vital role in physiological and pathological processes such as regulating inflammation, oxidative stress, and vessel relaxation. The aim of the study was to explore the effect of hydrogen sulfide on angiogenesis in the ischemic adductor muscles of type 2 diabetic db/db mice and ischemic diabetic wound...
متن کاملExercise restores coronary vascular function independent of myogenic tone or hyperglycemic status in db/db mice.
Regulation of coronary function in diabetic hearts is an important component in preventing ischemic cardiac events but remains poorly studied. Exercise is recommended in the management of diabetes, but its effects on diabetic coronary function are relatively unknown. We investigated coronary artery myogenic tone and endothelial function, essential elements in maintaining vascular fluid dynamics...
متن کاملEchocardiographic assessment of cardiac function in diabetic db/db and transgenic db/db-hGLUT4 mice.
Control db/+ and diabetic db/db mice at 6 and 12 wk of age were subjected to echocardiography to determine whether contractile function was reduced in vivo and restored in transgenic db/db-human glucose transporter 4 (hGLUT4) mice (12 wk old) in which cardiac metabolism has been normalized. Systolic function was unchanged in 6-wk-old db/db mice, but fractional shortening and velocity of circumf...
