Experiment

Hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp order #10861
Summary Data Summary
Investigator Gettys, Thomas W
Description The UCP1 nulls and GCN2 nulls will allow us to test the involvement of these
respective genes as mediators (UCP1) or sensors (GCN2) of the physiological
phenotype produced by consuming a methionine restricted diet (e.g., #510071).

The WT, GCN2 null, and UCP1 null mice will be fed the Control diet for 1 wk
after arrival at Vanderbilt, and then half the animals of each genotype will be
randomized to receive the methionine restricted diet while the other half of the
animals of each genotype will continue to receive the control diet. The diets
will be provided ad libitum and fed to the mice for a total of 8-9 wks before
the conduct of hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps on the mice.
