Muscles ex vivo FFA oxydation

Muscle

A simple and rapid technique for assessing the direct impact of your compound in type 2 diabetes and/or dyslipidemia.
This method can be used both for medium throughput screening and for initial ex vivo proof-of-concept.

Key benefits

  • Ex vivo validation on insulin resistance and lipotoxicity in isolated muscles
  • Select your best candidates with an inexpensive, reproducible and rapid technique, before launching in vivo validation

Species

  • Rat
  • Mouse

Parameters evaluated

 

Add-on studies

  • Free fatty acid turnover assay with specific emphasis on the FFA storage rate in individual tissues, to identify specific tissues targeted by your compound in terms of lipotoxicity
