Curcumin aorta apoEKO mice
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: At eight weeks of age, male mice were divided into two groups (15 mice per group) fed iso-energetic diet: a control-diet or the same diet supplemented with 0.2% of curcumin (Sigma Aldrich) for 16 weeks (Table S1). The dose of curcumin used in this study is equivalent to 1g curcumin consumption in humans, a level of consumption achievable in South-Asian countries. No significant difference in weight gain was observed between the two groups at the end of the experimental period (data not shown). After 16 weeks, mice were anaesthetized (40 mg pentobarbital/kg of body weight) and blood was collected from the abdominal aorta into heparinised tubes and plasma was stored at -80 C. After washing with sterilized PBS, aorta and heart samples were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 C.
