Metabolic Biomarkers in Pre-Surgery Fasting

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pre-surgery fasting (at least 4 hours) plasma levels of glucose and serum insulin, adiponectin, leptin and fetuin-A were determined following blood collection in standard serum tubes and centrifuged at 3,000rpm for 15min at 5°C. Serum (3-5mls) was stored at -80°C before transfer for analysis at the Medical Re search Laboratory, University of Aarhus, Denmark. The assay techniques have been described elsewhere. 20 Briefly, glucose concentrations were analyzed by the glucose oxidase method, Beckman Instruments, CA, USA; insulin by a two-site immunospecific Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA), Dako, Denmark; adiponectin by an in-house Time-Resolved ImmunoFluoroMetric Assay (TR-IFMA) based on two monoclonal antibodies and recombinant human adiponectin (R&D Systems, Abingdon, UK); leptin by a validated in-house TR-IFMA based on two commercial monoclonal antibodies and commercial recombinant human leptin as the standard, R&D Systems, Abingdon, UK. Fetuin-A levels were determined by a commercial Quantikine ELISA from R&D Systems in accordance with instructions from the manufacturer. To estimate insulin resistance, we derived a HOmeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) value for each patient. 21 HOMA-IR has good correlation with the euglycaemic clamp (r = 0.88) and has been validated in healthy subjects. 22

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.
