Lipid peroxidation levels were measured by levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) using thiobarbituric acid method [27 (link)]. Kidney tissues were homogenized with 0.15M KCl (Duksan, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea) solution. 0.2ml of homogenous kidney tissue was added to 0.2ml of 8.1% SDS (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO., USA) and incubated at room temperature for 10min. 3ml of 20% acetic acid (Duksan, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea)-0.8% TBA mixture (Lancaster Synthesis, Morecambe, England) (1:1, v/v) and 0.6ml of distilled water were added. The reaction mixture was heated in a water bath at 95℃ for 1h, and then cooled by tap water immediately. To each tube, 1ml distilled water and 5ml of n-butanol (Duksan, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea) and pyridine (Duksan, Gyeonggi-do, south Korea) (15:1, v/v) were added and shaken using a vortex. After centrifuging at 4,000 rpm for 10 min, the pink supernatant was measured at 532 nm using ELISA reader (BIO-TEK instruments, Winooski, VT, USA) with 1,1,3,3-tetramethoxypropane (Sigma-Aldrich) as a standard.

Synthesis and Characterization of BSTO Nanoparticles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To synthesize BSTO NPs, barium nitrate (Ba(NO3)2, 99.999% trace metals basis, Sigma-Aldrich, USA), strontium nitrate (Sr(NO3)2, 99.995% trace metals basis, Sigma-Aldrich, USA), and titanium (IV) butoxide (Ti(OCH2CH2CH2CH3)4, reagent grade, 97%, Sigma-Aldrich, USA) were used as the starting materials; n-butanol (99.5%, Duksan, South Korea) and deionized water were used as the solvents; and sodium hydroxide (NaOH, reagent grade, ≥98%, pellets (anhydrous), Sigma-Aldrich, USA) was used as the reactive agent. A modified LSS process with control of the Ba-Sr composition was used (see Supporting Information). The crystalline phase of the BSTO NPs were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD, Ultima, Rigaku, Japan) analysis using Cu-Kα radiation with a wavelength of 1.5418 Å at 2θ = 20°–80°. A particle size analyzer (PSA, Nanotrac Wave, Microtrac, USA) and a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) apparatus (AIS-2000C, SERON, South Korea) were used to observe the morphology and size distribution of the NPs. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR, Perkin Elmer, USA) was employed to confirm the ligands of the BSTO NPs. A current–voltage (C–V) meter (B1500A, Agilent, USA) was used to determine the dielectric properties of the NPs, such as the dielectric constant and loss tangent.

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.
