Oxiselect total antioxidant capacity assay kit

Manufactured by Cell Biolabs
Sourced in United States

The OxiSelect Total Antioxidant Capacity Assay Kit is a quantitative colorimetric assay that measures the total antioxidant capacity of biological samples. The kit utilizes a copper (II) reagent that is reduced by antioxidants in the sample, resulting in a colorimetric change that can be measured spectrophotometrically.

Evaluating Antioxidant Status and Body Composition

At baseline, the samples for the standard analysis and HS-Omega-3 Index were collected during the fasting state. A 20 mL blood sample was taken by venipuncture, processed and stored for analysis of the HS-Omega-3 Index and standard health parameters at baseline, the HS-Omega-3 Index two months after study start and at the end of the supplementation period, as well as the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and malonyl dialdehyde (MDA) concentrations before and after the training session.
The TAC in plasma samples was measured using the OxiSelect™ total antioxidant capacity assay kit (STA-360, Cell Biolabs Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) following the manufacturer’s instructions. High values in the TAC assay reflect a high antioxidant capacity, i.e., greater protection. Uric acid equivalent was used to calculate µM copper-reducing equivalent values. The level of MDA was measured colorimetrically using the OxiSelect™ TBARS assay kit (MDA Quantitation, STA-330, Cell Biolabs Inc., San Diego, CA, USA). MDA quantitation results are expressed as µmol/L (µM) concentration using the MDA standard curve obtained during the processing of the plasma samples.
Body composition was assessed by kinanthropometry following international standards for anthropometric assessments applying the Yuhasz formula modified by Faulkner [59 ,60 ].

Serum TAC was determined applying the OxiSelect Total Antioxidant Capacity Assay Kit (Cell Biolabs, Inc.), according to the manufacturer's manual, by the ability of copper (I), as reduced from copper (II) by antioxidants, to react with a chromogenic reagent. Duplicate serum samples (20 μl), diluted 1:4 in PBS, were analyzed to provide concentrations in terms of copper-reducing equivalents, being proportional to the total reductive capacity.

Antioxidant Capacity Quantification Assay

The TAC assay was performed using the OxiSelect™ Total Antioxidant Capacity Assay Kit as per manufacturer’s instructions (Cell Biolabs, Inc.). Briefly, increasing amounts of PIC1 or glutathione diluted in water were added to a 96 well microtiter plate. Titrating amounts of uric acid were also prepared in parallel to generate an antioxidant standard curve. Reaction buffer was then added and an initial absorbance recorded at 490 nm in a BioTEK plate reader. Next, copper ion reagent was added to each well, incubated for 5 minutes at room temperature followed by stop solution to terminate the reaction. The plate was then read again at 490 nm. To determine the total antioxidant capacity, mM uric acid equivalents extrapolated from the standard curve were converted to copper reducing equivalents as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Copper reducing equivalents are proportional to the sample’s total antioxidant capacity.

On the past day of the experiment, all rats were anesthetized (as previously mentioned), and blood collected through cardiopuncture, and sera harvested by centrifugation at 3000 rpm for 10 min and stored at −20°C until analyzed. Blood samples were analyzed (platelet [PL] count, TC, triglycerides [TGs], and total antioxidant activity [TAO]- and LP) (ABX vet pack, 130312w3b, Horiba abx SAS, France; Cholesterol, 313AA; TG 230AA, Biosystem, Barcelona, Spain; Oxiselect total antioxidant capacity assay kit, 0628201304, Cell Biolabs Inc, USA; and TBARS assay kit, 1009055, Cayman Chemical, Michigan, USA), respectively.

Antioxidant Capacity and ROS Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total antioxidant capacity was determined by using the OxiSelect Total Antioxidant Capacity Assay Kit (Cell Biolabs, CliniSciences, Guidonia Montecelio, Italy), which relies on the principle that the reduction of divalent to monovalent Copper ion can form a stable-coloured complex with a chromogenic reagent. The net absorbance values measured at 490 nm in lysate samples derived from batches of 10 control and treated embryos at 30 hpf were compared with a uric acid standard curve and were proportional to the capacity of antioxidant species in samples. Each sample was assayed in duplicate, and results were expressed as μM Copper reducing equivalents.
ROS level was quantified by staining control and treated embryos in the dark for 15 min with 5 µM of the fluorescent dye 2,7-dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein-diacetate (DCFH-DA) green-fluorescent dye (Merck Life Science, Milan, Italy). After incubation, embryos were washed thrice with E3 medium and anesthetized as described above. The green fluorescence of oxidized DCF was visualized using a Leica M205-FA stereomicroscope and quantified using ImageJ software.

Serum TNFα and urine total antioxidant capacity were measured using the Rat TNFα ELISA kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA) and Oxiselect Total Antioxidant Capacity Assay Kit (Cell Biolabs, CA, USA), respectively, according to the manufacturer’s protocol. For the TNFα measurement, 50 µL of serum was tested on the ELISA plate and its quantification was obtained by interpolating the difference of the absorptions at 450 nm and 550 nm in a standard curve, expressing the final result in pg/mL. The antioxidant capacity was measured by mixing the urine sample (20 µL) with 180 µL of the reaction buffer previously diluted in PBS 1X (1:100). The initial absorbance (490 nm) was read in order to calculate the net absorbance (final absorbance minus initial absorbance), and 50 µL of the copper ion reagent was added and then stirred for 5 min. The reaction was stopped by adding 50 μL of the stop solution and the final absorbance was read at 490 nm. The antioxidant capacity was calculated by comparing the net absorbance values obtained in duplicate with the standard curve. Values are shown in mM.

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.
