Activity Blood glucose response to restraint test
​
Food will be removed circa 11 am (four hours before the lab starts). During the lab, each mouse is placed in a restraint tube with its tail exposed.
At time 0, 30 min, and 60 min, BG will be measured twice from the distal-ventral end of the tail and the values recorded. If the two measurements differ by more than 15 mg/dL, a third sample will be taken. ​​​​
Meeting locations: GC 008c and Skaggs 007

Think about this!
Why do we discard the first drop of blood?
In normal, healthy mice, how would BG change from 0 to 30 to 60 minutes in the restraint and why?
