Serum adiponectin

Manufactured by R&D Systems
Sourced in United States

Serum adiponectin is a protein biomarker that can be measured using laboratory equipment. It reflects the concentration of adiponectin, an adipokine secreted by adipose tissue, in the serum or blood sample.

After a minimum of ten hours overnight fasting, blood samples were obtained from every participant. The blood samples were centrifuged at 3,400 rounds per minute for ten minutes in 4℃. The serum was stored at -70℃.
The serum was melted at room temperature and prepared for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests of serum adiponectin (R&D systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), ICAM-1 (R&D systems), CD40 (R&D systems), and P-Selectin (R&D systems). Total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglyceride, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), CRP, fasting glucose and serum insulin (Toshiba TBA 200FR, Toshiba Medical Systems, Tokyo, Japan) were also measured. Homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR) was calculated by the following equation (fasting serum insulin (mU/L)×fasting glucose (mmol/L)/22.5).

The body mass and body length (from the tip of the nose to anus) of rats were measured at the end of 6 months of feeding period. BMI (kg/m2) = body mass/body length2.
For the determination of serum adiponectin, interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and 4-hydroxy 2-nonenal (HNE), 5 ml of blood sample was drawn from abdominal aorta. Blood samples for serum collection were immediately centrifuged at 3000 r/min for 15 min and aliquots were stored at −80°C. The concentrations of serum adiponectin (R and D Systems; Minneapolis, USA), IL-6 (Blue Gene; Shanghai, China), TNF-α (Blue Gene; Shanghai, China), and 4-HNE (Blue Gene; Shanghai, China) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as recommended by the manufacturers.

Serum triglyceride (TG), HDL-cholesterol (HDL-c), and plasma glucose (FPG) were manually measured by their respective kits (Human Company, Germany). Insulin was measured by Electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECL) on Elecsys autoanalyzer (Roche Diagnostics, Germany). Insulin resistance and Insulin sensitivity (IS) were calculated using the Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA 2) Calculator v2.2 which is available from Oxford Centre for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolism. ELISA kits were used to measure serum adiponectin (R&D Systems, USA), serum leptin and hs-CRP (DRG Diagnostics, Germany).

Fasting Lipid and Adipokine Profiles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After a 12-h fasting, 10 ml/l of vein blood sample was obtained from each patient and after centrifuging by 1000 g for 10 min, and the samples were stored at − 70 °C. Lipid profiles, including triglycerides (TGs), cholesterol (Chol), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and plasma glucose were measured using routine laboratory techniques (Pars Azmoon kit, Catalog No 1500017, Tehran, Iran for TG and Chol and Zist Shimi kit, Serial No D00749, Tehran, Iran for HDL-C respectively). LDL-C was estimated based on direct measurement with autoanalyzer. ELISA kits were used to assay the ratios of serum adiponectin (R&D Systems, USA) and serum leptin (D&G Diagnostics, Germany), and the assays were conducted according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

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.
