AZ-1355 

Mice^[1]
Male mice, strain ddY, 6 weeks old are used in the assay. The mice are fasted overnight and then Triton WR-1399 (500 mg/kg) is intravenously injected. Immediately and 8 h after the injection, AZ-1366 or clofibrate (both 150 mg/kg, each) are given to the mice orally. The control mice receive the vehicle, 1% aqueous methycellulose. The mice are maintained for 24 h on drinking water only and then the blood is withdrawn from the heart.
Rats^[1]
Male rats, strain Sprague-Dawley, 6 weeks old are used in the assay. A total of 56 rats are randomly assigned to 2 equal groups. One group is fed the CE-2 diet and the other the high fat diet. Each group is further subdivided into 4 equal groups (n=7). The rats in the first subgroup receives the vehicle, 5% aqueous gum arabic solution, orally (1 ml 100 g body weight). The second sub-group receives clofibrate (100 mg/kg daily), and the third and the fourth receive AZ-1355 in daily doses of 50 and 100 mg/kg, respectively. The drug is administered once a day for 4 consecutive weeks. Body weights are monitored daily. There is no difference in weight gains between the treated and corresponding control groups.

MCE has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
