Glucose/Metabolism Project Sample Clauses

Glucose/Metabolism Project. Goto-Kakizaki (GK) Hyperglycaemia study: These studies will test whether TCAP-1 administration can rescue the hyperglyaemic effect inherent in this animals. In the first study, a single dose of TCAP-1 will be administered to determine if plasma glucose will be reduced. In addition, samples of pancreas, muscle, liver, brain and testes will be taken from each animal. Metabolic hormones wi1l be examined. In the second study, repeated doses of TCAP-l will be given to determine long-term effects of the peptide. Xxxxxx Diabetic Obese Hyperglycaemia study: These studies will test whether TCAP-l administration can rescue the hyperglyaemic effect associated with a high calorific diet in this animals. In the first study, a single dose of TCAP-1 will be administered to determine if plasma glucose will be reduced. In addition, samples of pancreas, muscle, liver, brain and testes will be taken from each animal. Metabolic hormones will be examined. In the second study, repeated doses of TCAP-l will be given to determine long-term effects of the peptide . The Governing Council of the University of Toronto Protagenic Therapeutics, Inc. In vitro Studies: A combination of in vitro models using immortalized cell culture and tissue sections will be used to ascertain the molecular mechanism TCAP-l utilizes to regulate energy production. This will be aimed at establishing the independence of TCAP-1 from the insulin signal transduction pathway and will support the studies associated with the Metabolism project (above). Moreover, these studies will provide information to interpret safety studies are part of the IND enabling program. Most of these studies are now complete for neurons. Similar studies are being carried out in skeletal muscle cells. Additional in vitro studies utilizing recombinant DNA methods to express TCAP in immortalized cells will be used to determine how TCAP is regulated and processed and is expected to provide insight into the type of pathologies that TCAP is involved in. Currently, the specific mRNA has been cloned and a mouse-based knockdown of TCAP-1 will be prepared. This model will be useful to assess all elements of TCAP-1 action including neurological and behavioural regulation, metabolism and infertility. Blood hormone/metabolite study: The goal of these studies is to assess the acute actions of TCAP-l on metabolic parameters. In this study, rats will be given either vehicle, or one of two doses of TCAP-1 (25 or 250 pmols). Blood will be collected at...
