Metabolic Indices and Renal Function

Medical history and clinical characteristics (sex, age, height, weight, and blood pressure) were recorded in the morning during patients’ clinic visits. Blood samples for analysis of metabolic indices were also collected. Urine samples were obtained for urinary albumin and creatinine testing. Body mass index (BMI), UACR, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were calculated. HOMA-IR [fasting glucose × fasting insulin (μU/mL)/22.5] was used to calculate insulin resistance.
Renal function and lipids were assessed using an autoanalyzer (Cobas 8000, Roche, Basel, Switzerland). Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was detected by using a high-performance liquid chromatography system (Bio-Rad, United States). Fasting insulin and C-peptide levels were tested by chemiluminescence (e601, Roche). Serum Dickkopf-1 concentrations were assayed by ELISA employing a human Dickkopf-1-specific antibody, with a range of 10 to 1000 pg/mL (R&D systems Catalog DKK100, United States). Urinary albumin was measured by immune turbidimetry and creatinine was measured with a chemistry analyzer (AU2700, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

Quantifying Serum DKK-1 Protein by ELISA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Serum levels of DKK‐1 protein were measured by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with a commercially available kit (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, Catalog No. DKK100). Briefly, the concentrations of the DKK‐1 standards for creating a standard curve were 0, 31.2, 62.5, 125, 250, 500, 1000, and 2000 pg/mL. A total quantity of 100 μL of Standard and sample (an eightfold dilution) were added and incubated for 2 h at room temperature, followed by the addition of 200 μL of the Dkk‐1 Conjugate (a polyclonal antibody against Dkk‐1 conjugated to horseradish peroxidase [HRP]) for another 2 h at room temperature. Color development was achieved with 200 μL substrate solution per well for 30 min, and sulfuric acid as stop solution was added. The optical density was read at 450 nm and referenced to 630 nm on a plate microplate reader (Multiskan MK3; Thermo Fisher Scientific). All measurements were run in duplicate. The concentrations of DKK‐1 were obtained with a standard curve, fitted for the standard value, and multiplied by the dilution factor.

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.
