Blood samples were obtained from the heart after sacrifice. The samples were
kept at 5°C until centrifugation at 1000×g. Serum was
distributed into sterile Cryo Vials (Greiner Labortechnik, Frickenhausen,
Germany) in volumes of 500 μL and immediately frozen at
−80°C until analysis. The levels of plasma thyroid hormones,
including triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), and thyroid stimulating
hormone (TSH) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay according
to the manufacturer’s protocol (Endocrine Technology, Old Bridge, NJ,
USA). The absorbance was measured 450 nm using a plate reader (Tecan Sunrise
TW, Salzburg, Austria).

Frozen liver samples were homogenised in PBS (1:9, w/v) on ice and sonicated to further break the cell membranes. Minced tissues were centrifuged for 5 min (5000 ×g, at 4 °C). The supernatants were collected to measure the hepatic TG levels. The preparation and measurement of TG content in the liver samples were performed according to the manufacturer’s protocol (MyBiosource, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA; MBS164762). Absorbance (450 nm) was measured using a plate reader (Tecan Sunrise TW, Salzburg, Austria).

The frozen liver samples were homogenized in deionized water and minced samples were sonicated for 10 s and frozen/thawed at ≤ - 20 °C (repeated three times). The serum and homogenized liver samples were aliquoted to a microcentrifuge tube (300 μL) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances acid reagent (300 μL) was added and mixed well. The samples were incubated for 15 min at room temperature and centrifuged for 4 min (≥ 12000 ×g, at 4 °C). The supernatants were collected to measure MDA levels. The preparation and measurement of MDA in the serum and liver were performed according to the manufacturer’s protocol (R&D Systems Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA; KGE013). The absorbance (532 nm) was measured using a plate reader (Tecan Sunrise TW, Salzburg, Austria).

Cytotoxicity Evaluation of PA in HDFs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cytotoxicity measurement of PA proceeded at a density of 5 × 104 cells/well in a 24-well plate for 24 h, then treated with PA at four different concentrations—0, 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 μg/mL—for another 24 h. The cell viability of HDFs was determined by using a colorimetric MTT assay as described by Ding et al. [39 ]. Briefly, 100 µL of MTT stock solution (2 mg/mL in PBS buffer) was added to each well and then incubated for 3 h. After the incubation, each of the mixture mediums was discarded and 300 µL of 100% DMSO was added to dissolve an insoluble formazan. The absorbance was measured at 540 nm using a microplate reader (Sunrise TW, Tecan Trading AG, Mannedorf, Switzerland).

Elastase Inhibition Assay Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Elastase inhibition was determined by measuring the intensity of the solution color assayed using the method of Tu and Tawata (2015) with slight modifications. The mixture of AAAPVN elastase substrate in 0.1232 M Tris-HCl buffer solution (pH 8) was prepared to obtain a concentration of 1.015 mM. The elastase substrate was mixed with the 10 μl of sample in the 96-well plates, and preincubated at 25 °C for 10 min. After the preincubation, the reaction was initiated by adding 10 μl of elastase from porcine pancreas (7.5 units/ml) in Tris solution buffer to the preincubated mixtures. Finally, the absorbance was measured at 410 nm using a microplate reader (Sunrise TW, Tecan Trading AG, Männedorf, Switzerland).

The DPPH scavenging activity was performed as described by Nanjo et al. (1996) . Briefly, DPPH reagent was dissolved in methanol for a solution concentration of 1.5 × 10 -4 M. One hundred microliters of DPPH reagent was mixed with 100 μl sample in 96-well plates. After incubation at room temperature for 30 min, the absorbance was measured 517 nm using a microplate reader (Sunrise TW, Tecan Trading AG, Männedorf, Switzerland).

Collagenase inhibitory activity was evaluated based on the method described by Wang et al. (2018) with some modifications. A fixed weight of 1 mg of Azo dyeimpregnated collagen was measured in the test tubes and then the homogenization was proceeded after the addition of an 800 μl of 0.1 M Tris-HCl (pH 7) and a 100 μl of sample into each of test tubes. A 100 μl collagenase (200 units/ml) was immediately mixed into the mixture and incubated at 43 °C for 1 h. Afterward, the test tubes were centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 min. The supernatant section of each test tube was transferred into 96-well plates and the absorbance of each supernatant was measured at 550 nm (Sunrise TW, Tecan Trading AG, Männedorf, 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.
