A method in which the subject's weight is measured in air and underwater to determine density of the body and from that calculate percentage body fat. In general the subject sits in a specialized weighing chair and is lowered into a tank of water after expelling all air from the lungs and once all body parts are submerged, the weight is taken. The general formula is the density of the body divided by the density of the water is equal to the weight of the body in air divided by the weight of the body in air minus the weight of the immersed body.

Active avoidance requires performing a specific behavior in order to escape or avoid the aversive stimulus. It is a conditioning paradigm in which the animal learns to control the application of an unconditioned stimulus (US), in this case, a foot shock, by appropriately reacting to a conditioned stimulus (CS) preceding the US, such as a light cue. The first stage of avoidance learning is usually to escape from the US. With continued training, anticipatory reactions appear which enable the animal to avoid the US altogether. In the active avoidance test, the rodent is placed into a shuttle box and is trained to move to the opposite side of the box in response to a cue that signals an incoming foot shock. Movement to the opposite side of the chamber in response to the presentation of the shock-predictive cue alone is regarded as active avoidance, whereas movement to the opposite side of the chamber only after receiving foot shock is regarded as an escape response.

A method performed outside the living body, e.g., on isolated tissue, which incorporates use of light microscopy and immunohistochemistry to produce picture files stored as data expressed in a discrete numerical form, followed by use of computer software to evaluate these resulting microscopic images. Light microscopy is the examination or observation of material through a light microscope, an optical instrument that uses visible light (electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between approximately 390 and 700 nm) processed through a lens or a combination of lenses to produce magnified images. Immunohistochemistry is the microscopic localization of specific antigens in tissues by staining with antibodies labeled with fluorescent or pigmented material.

The Bradford assay of protein concentration is based on an absorbance shift of the dye Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250. In the acidic environment of the assay, protein binds to the Coomassie dye, resulting in a shift from reddish/brown to blue in the color of the dye, which can be quantitated by spectrophotometry, i.e., based on the ability of the solution to alter the transmission of light at specific wavelengths in the visible spectrum, that is, to alter the transmission of a specific color of light. The binding of the dye to the protein stabilizes the blue anionic form and the increase of absorbance at 595 nm is proportional to the amount of bound dye, and thus to the amount (concentration) of protein present in the sample.

knock-in reporter
An in situ reporter assay that uses intact cells or tissues from an organism with a recombinase-carrying allele and a reporter gene-carrying allele to detect the cells and/or tissues where the recombinase has been active. The reporter gene will only be expressed when the recombinase has removed/rearranged part of its sequence. Cre is an example of a commonly used recombinase.

Passive avoidance describes experiments in which the animal learns to avoid an aversive event by suppressing a particular behavior. To learn to do so, the aversive stimulus must be clearly associated with the active behavioral component. The passive avoidance task is be carried out in a shuttle box with a light chamber and a dark chamber separated by a doorway (the step-through version of the task). Given that illuminated environments are unpleasant to rodents, when placed in the light chamber, they are led into the preferred dark compartment by its innate photophobia. During habituation, theyre allowed to do so, but in the conditioning phase of the passive avoidance test, the animal will receive a foot shock when he crosses to the dark chamber. His innate behavior of seeking a darker environment will thereby become associated with an aversive stimulus. When placed again in the light chamber, the animal will avoid entering the dark, shock-associated chamber.

During habituation, theyre allowed to do so, but in the conditioning phase of the passive avoidance test, the animal will receive a foot shock when he crosses to the dark chamber. His innate behavior of seeking a darker environment will thereby become associated with an aversive stimulus. When placed again in the light chamber, the animal will avoid entering the dark, shock-associated chamber.

When reacted with primary amines in the presence of mercaptoethanol, OPA (o-Phthalaldehyde) yields an intense blue-colored fluorescent product that has a maximum wavelength of excitation of 340 nm and emission at 455 nm. Wavelengths from 330-375 nm have been used for excitation and 436-490 nm for measuring emission. Protein concentrations as low as 50 ng/ml can be measured with an OPA assay. The inherent sensitivity and speed of OPA, along with its broad linear range, makes it a useful protein and peptide assay reagent.

The word is a portmanteau, coming from probability + unit. The purpose of the model is to estimate the probability that an observation with particular characteristics will fall into a specific one of the categories. This procedure will allow you to estimate the strength of a stimulus required to induce a certain proportion of responses, such as the median effective dose.

Affinity chromatography is a type of gel filtration chromatography which separates proteins on the basis of a reversible interaction between a protein (or group of proteins) and a specific ligand coupled to a chromatography matrix. With such high selectivity and hence high resolution for the protein(s) of interest, purification levels in the order of several thousand-fold with high recovery of active material are achievable. Samples are concentrated during binding and the target protein(s) is collected in a purified, concentrated form. Examples include antibody/antigen, enzyme/substrate, and enzyme/inhibitor interactions.
