Costs (per mouse) for Vandy Clamp Procedures (includes surgery) |
Hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp with [3-3H] glucose This procedure will allow investigators to assess whole body insulin action and the ability of insulin to suppress endogenous (i.e. hepatic) glucose production. | $300 |
Hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp with [2-3H] deoxyglucose This procedure will allow investigators to assess whole body insulin action and the rates of glucose uptake by multiple (e.g. brain, heart, muscle and fat). | $370 |
Hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp with [3-3H] glucose and [14C] deoxyglucose This procedure will allow investigators to assess whole body insulin action, the ability of insulin to suppress endogenous (i.e. hepatic) glucose production and the rates of glucose uptake by multiple tissues (e.g. brain, heart, muscle and fat). | $380 |
Hyperglycemic clamp This procedure will allow investigators to assess the ability of the pancreas to respond to an acute increase in glucose levels by monitoring the time course of insulin and c-peptide concentration. | $367 |
*** Note: typically to compare groups, 6-8 animals/group is needed. Prices do not include cost for shipping or quarantine. |
