Quantitative Steroid Metabolism Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Steroid metabolism was labeled by adding either 54‘000 cpm [3H]-pregnenolone, 49,000 cpm [3H]-DHEA or 59,000 cpm [14C]-progesterone per well for 120, 90 and 60 minutes, respectively. Steroids were extracted from medium as previously described [12 (link)] and separated on thin-layer chromatography (TLC) plates (Macherey-Nagel, Düren, Germany) using the chloroform:ethylacetate (3:1) solvent system. The separated steroids were visualized by exposing TLC plates on imaging screens and reading them on a Fuji PhosphoImager FLA-7000 (Fujifilm, Dielsdorf, Germany). Steroids were identified by running known standards in parallel on screens. Specific steroids were densitometrically quantified with the Multi Gauge software (Fujifilm). Finally, specific steroid conversion was calculated as a percentage of radioactivity incorporated in a specific steroid hot spot when compared with the total radioactivity added to the reaction.

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.
