Hi,
I would like to perform an OGTT in Sprague Dawley rats.
The rats will be accustomed to sweetened milk for a behavioral experiment (novelty-induced hypophagia test) prior to the OGTT. Thus, I wondered if I can use this milk in the OGTT, as I would know the rats drink the milk without the need for gavaging. Or should the solution optimally only contain glucose?
Alternatively, does someone know if there are sugar pellets available that I can feed the rats to even better control the amount of glucose the rat consumed?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers, Laura
