The α,β-unsaturated aldehyde content was measured according to the p-anisidine test, the American Oil Chemists’ Society official method (Tompkins and Perkins, 1999 (link)). The frying oil (1 g) was dissolved in 25 mL isooctane and used as a sample solution. The sample solution (5 mL) was mixed with 1 mL glacial acetic acid, and its absorbance (A0) was measured at 350 nm (EON microplate spectrophotometer, BioTek Instruments). The sample solution (5 mL) and isooctane (5 mL) were separately taken in each test tube, and 1 mL of the p-anisidine solution (0.25 g p-anisidine/100 mL glacial acetic acid) was added to both test tubes. After incubation at 23°C in a water bath (BS-21, Jeio Tech Co., Ltd.) covered with a lid for 10 min, the absorbance (each A1 and A2) at 350 nm (EON microplate spectrophotometer, BioTek Instruments) was measured. Isooctane was used as a blank. p-AV was calculated with the following equation:
p-AV=25[1.2(A1-A2)-A0]m
where m is the mass (g) of the frying oil sample. The TOTOX value, an indicator of TOTOX, was calculated as follows:
TOTOX=2×PV+p-AV

The antibacterial properties of HPMA-PEP constructs were tested against Acinetobacter baumanii (CCM 2355), Escherichia coli (CCM 4517), Staphylococcus epidermidis (CCM 2124), and Staphylococcus aureus (CCM 4516) (Czech Collection of Microorganisms, Brno, Czech Republic) in vitro. A single colony of the test microorganism was transferred into 5 mL of sterile broth (Luria-Bertani medium, Sigma) and cultivated overnight at 37 °C to prepare a bacterial test suspension in a double-concentrated Mueller-Hinton broth at a density equivalent to a 0.5 McFarland standard. Desired weight of lyophilized PEP or polymer-PEP was resuspended in sterile PBS and a concentration series was prepared. The bacterial suspension was then mixed with different concentrations of the PEP or polymer-PEP construct diluted in 1:1 in PBS and cultured at 35 °C. The bacterial growth was measured spectrophotometrically at 625 nm every 60 min for 20 h using an EON microplate spectrophotometer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA).
The MIC was determined as the lowest concentration of PEP or polymer-PEP construct without observable bacterial growth. MIC was calculated as the molar concentration of PEP. The MBCs were also evaluated by culturing the samples (25 µL in 5 replicates) at MIC on plate count agar at 37 °C. If the bacteria were absent after 24 h of incubation, it was termed MBC.

Serum haptoglobin (HPT) concentrations on 35 and 42 d were measured using a commercial kit (Life Diagnostics Inc., West Chester, PA, USA, catalog# HAPT-11) following the manufacturer’s protocol. Briefly, serum samples were diluted (1:50) first with the diluent of the kit. The diluted samples and the standards (100 µL) were transferred in duplicate to a 96-well plate and then incubated on an orbital shaker (150 rpm) at room temperature for 45 min. Then, 100 µL of a horseradish peroxidase conjugate was added to each well and incubated on the orbital shaker (150 rpm) at room temperature for 45 min. Tetramethylbenzidine substrate (100 µL) was dispensed to each well, and the plate was incubated on the orbital shaker (150 rpm) at room temperature for 20 min. After adding the stop solution (100 µL) to each well, the optical density was read at 450 nm by using an Eon microplate spectrophotometer (BioTek Instruments, Inc., Winooski, VT, USA). The samples were reanalyzed if the coefficient of variation (CV) across duplicates was >20%. The intra-assay CV was <10% for 90% of the samples, and the inter-assay CV was 2.0%. The detection limit of this assay was 4.0 ng/mL.

Bacillus subtilis strain 168 (ATCC 23857) and Escherichia coli (UTI89) were routinely cultured at 37°C in Luria-Bertani (LB) broth (61 (link)). Growth in oxalate was assayed in 96-well plates prepared as dilutions of sodium oxalate (NaOx) in LB broth with stationary-phase bacteria added at a final dilution of 1/100. Plates were incubated for 24 h at 37°C with optical density (OD) readings every 30 min using an Eon microplate spectrophotometer (BioTek, Winooski, VT, USA). NaOx concentrations were selected based on physiologic intestinal oxalate concentrations reported in the literature (62 (link)). Growth curves were analyzed with the R package Growthcurver and GraphPad Prism (version 8.1.2) (63 (link)).
D. melanogaster flies were cultured following homogenization until day 10 of the survival assay to assess BS168 loads. D. melanogaster flies were surface sterilized with 70% ethanol and homogenized in 0.01 M phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) by using a motorized pestle. Homogenates were diluted up to 100-fold, plated onto LB agar, and then incubated aerobically at 37°C for 24 h. The characteristic colony morphology of BS168 was easily differentiated on LB, which is not a growth medium amenable to culturing the typical D. melanogaster microbiota (64 (link)).

Blood lactate concentrations (mM) were analyzed in real-time from plasma using an automated analyzer (Analox GM7 enzymatic metabolite analyzer; Analox Instruments USA, Lunenburg, MA, USA). Plasma concentrations of TAC, total testosterone, ferric-reducing ability of plasma (FRAP), and thiobarbituric reactive substances (TBARS), as well as serum concentrations of creatine kinase (CK), cortisol and myoglobin, were assayed using commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. The TAC was assessed as the combined antioxidant ability of the sample to prevent the oxidation of 2,2′-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) and is expressed in Trolox equivalents. Assay absorbance was read according to manufacturer specifications on a BioTek Eon Microplate Spectrophotometer (BioTek Instruments, Inc., Winooska, VT, USA). To eliminate interassay variance, all samples for a particular assay remained frozen until analysis, were thawed only once, and were measured in duplicate by a single technician. The coefficient of variation for each assay was 4.7% for TAC, 1.5% for lactate, 7.6% for myoglobin, 3.7% for CK, 4.3% for testosterone, 3.4% for cortisol, 14.4% for FRAP, and 6.5% for TBARS. All assay procedures followed the manufacturers' guidelines.

The PV of the frying oils was determined according to the ferric thiocyanate method, which is based on the ability of peroxides to oxidize ferrous ions (Fe2+) to ferric ions (Fe3+; Chapman and Mackay, 1949 (link)). The FeCl2 solution was prepared by adding 0.0328 M BaCl2 solution slowly with stirring to 0.036 M FeSO4-7H2O solution and precipitating excess BaSO4 with 10 N HCl (1 mL). The frying oil (0.01 g) was dissolved in 3 mL methanol/butanol (2:1, v/v). The sample solution was sequentially added with 15 μL ammonium thiocyanate (7.5 g/25 mL in water) and 15 μL FeCl2 solution and vortexed thoroughly. After allowing the mixture to react at room temperature in the dark for 20 min, its absorbance was measured at 510 nm (EON microplate spectrophotometer, BioTek Instruments). The PV of the oil sample was calculated using a standard curve (R2=0.9934) constructed with cumene hydroperoxide.
