In vivo laboratory practicals in research-led teaching: An example using glucose tolerance tests in lean and obese mice [PDF]
The use of animal models is an essential part of medical research and drug development. The essential skills required to be able to do such research includes experimental design, statistical analysis and the actual handling and treating of the animals ...

Alterations in the mammary gland and tumor microenvironment of formerly obese mice
Background Obesity is a risk factor for breast cancer, and women with obesity that develop breast cancer have a worsened prognosis. Within the mammary gland, obesity causes chronic, macrophage-driven inflammation and adipose tissue fibrosis.

Somatostatin in the pancreas and hypothalamus of obese mice [PDF]
The pancreatic content of somatostatin, insulin, and glucagon and the hypothalamic content of somatostatin were examined in ob/ob mice at various ages and in goldthioglucose-obese mice. The total pancreatic content of somatostatin was increased in ob/ob mice compared to controls: 92 ng vs 75 ng (a 22% increase) at 2 months of age; 208 ng vs 131 ng (a ...

Effects of vasopressin on lipogenesis in obese mice [PDF]
Vasopressin is one of several catabolic hormones which have been shown to inhibit fatty acid synthesis in lean mice [ 11. Using the perfused liver preparation, it can be shown that the inhibitory action ofvasopressin is rapid in onset suggesting that vasopressin exerts a primary inhibitory effect on lipogenesis which probably occurs at the acetyl CoA ...

Alcohol produces distinct hepatic lipidome and eicosanoid signature in lean and obese[S]
Alcohol- and obesity-related liver diseases often coexist. The hepatic lipidomics due to alcohol and obesity interaction is unknown. We characterized the hepatic lipidome due to 1) alcohol consumption in lean and obese mice and 2) obesity and alcohol ...

Obese mice presented lower mortality to non-fatal pneumonia induced by Escherichia coli (E. coli) than the non-obese mice. However, it remained obscure whether the intestine contributed to the protective effect of obese mice with infection.

White adipose tissue (WAT) is important for maintenance of homeostasis, because it stores energy and secretes adipokines. The WAT of obese people demonstrates mitochondrial dysfunction, accompanied by oxidative stress, which leads to insulin resistance ...

Spontaneous restoration of functional β‐cell mass in obese SM/J mice
Maintenance of functional β‐cell mass is critical to preventing diabetes, but the physiological mechanisms that cause β‐cell populations to thrive or fail in the context of obesity are unknown.
