A maturation medium (MM) was prepared as previously described [22 (link)]. RPMI -glucose medium was supplemented with 3 mM D-(+)-glucose (Sigma), 10 mM sodium L-lactate (Sigma), 5 mM creatine monohydrate (Sigma), 2 mM taurine (Sigma), 2 mM L-carnitine hydrochloride (Sigma), 500 mM ascorbic acid 2-phosphate sesquimagnesium salt hydrate (Sigma), 1× MEM non-essential amino acid solution (Gibco, New York, NY, USA), 5 mg/ml vitamin B12 (Sigma), 0.82 mM biotin (Sigma), 0.5% AlbuMAX I lipid-rich BSA (Gibco), and 1% KnockOut Serum replacement (Gibco), then pH adjusted to 7.4 and 0.2 µm-filter sterilized (Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA). In the current study, iPSC-CMs were shifted to MM for 48 h prior to analysis.

Recombinant CROT-FLAG Protein Purification and Enzymatic Activity Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
H327A-CROT-FLAG expression plasmid vector was made using CROT (NM_021151) Human Tagged ORF Clone (OriGene, RC207888) and site mutagenesis. HEK293 cells were transfected with CROT-FLAG or H327A-CROT-FLAG plasmid vector using Lipofectamine 3000 Transfection Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Cat#: L3000015) according to manufacturer’s protocol. 2 days after the transfection, cells were harvested using Pierce IP Lysis Buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Cat#: 87788). CROT-FLAG and H327A-CROT-FLAG proteins were purified using ANTI-FLAG® M2 Affinity Gel (Sigma-Aldrich, Inc., Cat#: A2220) according to manufacturer’s protocol. Enzymaticactivity of CROT and H327A-CROT was measured using 0.1, 0.2 and 0.5 μg recombinant CROT-FLAG or H327A-CROT-FLAG incubated with 500 μM Octanoyl coenzyme A lithium salt hydrate (Sigma-Aldrich, Inc., Cat#: O6877), 2 mM L-Carnitine hydrochloride (Sigma-Aldrich, Inc., Cat#: C0283) and 125 μM Aldrithiol−4 (Sigma-Aldrich, Inc., Cat#: 143057) in 0.2 mL of 25 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). Absorbance was measured at 324 nm on a 96-well plate reader.

Liquid Diet and L-Carnitine Effects on Parotid Gland

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The present study was carried out on 30 adult male albino rats, weighing 180-250 g. They were kept on a 12 h light-dark cycle and given food and water ad libitum. They were randomly divided into three groups (10 per group): (1) Control group (G1) (n = 10): rats were fed on regular pellet diet. (2) Liquid diet group (G2) (n = 10): rats were fed a liquid diet, prepared by mixing two parts of water with one part of a powdered diet of the above pellet diet. (3) Liquid diet supplemented with L-car group (G3) (n = 10): rats L-car (100 mg/kg) was given via intraperitoneal route for 10 days [9] . L-carnitine hydrochloride (C0283) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, Germany. One month from the beginning of the experiment, all animals were euthanised by intraperitoneal injection of 120 mg/kg sodium pentobarbital. The parotid glands were dissected for histological, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural analysis.

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.
