Standardizing Metabolite Quantification Methods

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Standard curves of the absorbance of known metabolite concentrations were created so that the measured spectrophotometric values could be used to determine the corresponding metabolite concentrations. Care was taken to ensure that the relationship between the concentrations and the spectrophotometric values was linear and that the curves covered the entire range of the measured concentrations (from below the lowest value to the highest value). For determining the protein concentration, a standard curve was generated with a dilution series of bovine serum albumin (1 mg/ml; Sigma) that was treated as described above. For determining the carbohydrate and glycogen concentrations, a standard curve was generated using glucose (1 mg/ml; Sigma) at a range of dilutions. For the lipid analysis, a standard curve was generated using glycerol trioleate (1 mg/ml; Sigma) at different dilutions. Five independent repeats of different serial dilutions were conducted to produce each standard curve.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
4-week-old, male C57BL/6J mice (000664, Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME) were fed high fat diet (60% kcal fat diet D12492, Research Diets, Inc., New Brunswick, NJ) for 15 weeks. During allergic airway disease induction, which mice were sensitized to 2 μg house dust mite (D. pteronyssinus, Greer Lot #213051, endotoxin level 32.25 EU/vial, Greer Laboratories Inc, Lenoir, NC) with 0.1 μg cholera toxin (from Vibrio cholera, Lot #10070A1, List Biological Laboratories Inc, Campbell, CA) adjuvant via oropharyngeal aspiration. Mice were treated with either glycerol trioleate (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) vehicle (AAD-Vehicle group, n = 11) or 9,10-nitro-oleic acid, NO2-OA, (AAD-NO2-OA group, n = 11) via gavage, followed by challenge 3 hours later with 2 μg house dust mite antigen via oropharyngeal aspiration. Controls for obese mice with allergic airway disease included obese mice without allergic airway disease that only received adjuvant during sensitization and house dust mite (HDM) during the challenge (Control group, n = 12) and a group of naïve obese mice (Naïve group, n = 7). The CT, HDM or treatments did not alter animal weight (Supplement Figure 1). All mouse experiments were conducted in accordance with NIH ARRIVE guidelines and approved by the University of Pittsburgh IACUC (Protocol #20016689).

Calibration Curves for Biomolecule Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Standard curves of absorbance against known metabolite concentration were created to allow spectrophotometric values to be related to metabolite concentrations. Care was taken to ensure linearity within the various concentrations and that they started below the lowest sample value and ended beyond the highest. For protein concentration a standard curve was generated with a dilution series of bovine serum albumin (BSA) (1 mg/ml) (Sigma) treated as described above. For carbohydrate and glycogen, a standard curve was generated using glucose (1 mg/ml) (Sigma) at a range of dilutions. For lipids a standard curve was generated using glycerol trioleate (1 mg/ml) (Sigma) at various dilutions. Five independent repeats of different serial dilutions were conducted to produce each standard curve.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
