Example 2

Each of 200 mg/kg extract of Alpinia oxyphylla and 50 mg/kg allopurinol as a positive control was suspended in 0.01 M PBS (phosphate buffered saline) containing 0.1% polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate, and orally administered once to a SD-rat, which is a normal animal model.

Two hours after the oral administration, the animal was anesthetized with ethyl ether, and blood was taken from the animal. By using a uric acid assay kit (AB65344, ABCAM, USA), the uric acid amount was measured.

As it is illustrated in FIG. 1, the result of measuring uric acid in blood was shown to be about 2.1 mg/dl, as a result of having a decreased uric acid amount according to an administration of the extract of Alpinia oxyphylla. It was confirmed that the uric acid in blood was reduced by 26% compared to the normal group.

Xanthine Oxidase Inhibition Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
XO catalyzes the conversion of hypoxanthine to xanthine and then uric acid as a final product in the presence of molecular oxygen to yield superoxide anion [20 (link)]. Inhibitory effects on xanthine oxidase activity were measured by a decrease in uric acid formation. Urine and serum level of uric acid were determined by the uric acid detection kit (ab65344, abcam). The experimental process performed according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Renal function was evaluated via assessing serum levels of creatinine (Cr; ab700460), uric acid (ab65344), blood urea nitrogen (BUN; ab83362), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; ab102526), and kidney injury molecule-1 (Kim-1; ab119597) using the specified colorimetric or ELISA kit obtained from Abcam Inc. (Waltham, MA, USA), agreeing with the manufacturer’s practices consuming a spectrophotometer (LEICA UNISTAT®; Leica Inc., Allendale, NJ, USA).

PO (156124) and febuxostat (FEB) (SML1285) were purchased from Sigma–Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). The primary antibodies used in the present study were purchased from Bioworld Technology (Nanjing, China) and were as follows: rabbit anti-collagen 3A1, rabbit anti-α-SMA, rabbit anti-fibronectin, rabbit anti-vimentin, rabbit anti-E-cadherin, rabbit anti-NLRP3, rabbit anti-ASC, rabbit anti-caspase-1, rabbit anti-IL-1β, rabbit anti-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), and rabbit anti-TGFβ1 (BS7028, BS70000, BS90514, BS1491, BS1098, BS90948, BS6205, BS5641, AP0063, BS72410,BS91338). The assay kits for UA (ab65344), creatinine (ab65340), xanthine oxidase (XOD) (ab102522), IL-1β (ab197742), and IL-18 (ab216165) were purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, UK). The PrimeScript™ RT Master mix was obtained from Takara (Takara, Japan) and the FastStart Universal SYBR Green master mix was obtained from Roche (Basel, Switzerland).

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.
