# Protocol metadata
id: PROT-0013
name: BSA-OAPA and Insulin Combined Treatment Protocol
version: 1.0
description: Protocol for treating cells with BSA-conjugated oleic/palmitic acids and insulin
author: JJ
created: 2025-04-30
last_updated: 2025-05-07
category: cell-treatment
# Treatment details
treatment:
primary:
type: fatty-acid
ratio: "1:1 (OA:PA)"
total_concentration: 0.5 mM
duration: 24 hours
secondary:
type: hormone
name: Insulin
concentration: 100 nM
duration: 24 hours
control:
- BSA-only treatment
- Vehicle (no insulin)
# Materials required
materials:
- name: Oleic acid (OA)
concentration: 0.25 mM
preparation: BSA-conjugated
- name: Palmitic acid (PA)
concentration: 0.25 mM
preparation: BSA-conjugated
- name: Insulin solution
concentration: 100 nM
preparation: Diluted in appropriate buffer
- name: Complete culture medium
notes: Use media appropriate for cell type
# Protocol steps
steps:
- step: 1
action: "Prepare BSA-conjugated OA and PA mixture"
details: "Final concentration: 0.25 mM OA, 0.25 mM PA (0.5 mM total, 1:1 ratio)"
- step: 2
action: "Prepare insulin working solution"
details: "Dilute stock insulin to 100 nM final concentration"
- step: 3
action: "Treat cells with OAPA and insulin simultaneously"
details: "Add both treatments to culture medium before applying to cells"
- step: 4
action: "Incubate for 24h with combined treatment"
details: "Maintain standard culture conditions during incubation"
- step: 5
action: "Set up appropriate controls"
details: "Include BSA-only control, insulin-only control, and untreated control"
# Experimental context
experimental_notes:
- condition: "Combined fatty acid and insulin stimulation"
- condition: "Medium dose OAPA (0.5 mM total)"
- condition: "Standard insulin dose (100 nM)"
- note: "This protocol tests the interaction between fatty acid loading and insulin signaling"
# Safety considerations
safety:
ppe: "Lab coat, gloves and eye protection required"
hazards: "Avoid direct contact with concentrated fatty acids"
# Data collection
data_collection:
timepoints: [0h, 6h, 12h, 24h]
measurements:
- "Insulin signaling pathway activation (Western blot)"
- "Lipid accumulation (Oil Red O staining)"
- "Gene expression changes (qPCR)"
