Super oxide dismutase assay kits

Manufactured by Cayman Chemical
Sourced in United States

The Super Oxide Dismutase Assay Kits are laboratory equipment designed to measure the activity of the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) in biological samples. The kits provide a quantitative colorimetric method for determining SOD levels, which is useful for assessing oxidative stress and antioxidant capacity in various research applications.

After treatment, cells were collected, and cellular malondialdehyde and superoxide dismutase contents were determined using malondialdehyde as well as superoxide dismutase assay kits (Cayman Chemical Co), respectively, according to the manufacturer’s instruction. Loss of mitochondrial membrane potential was assessed by 5,5’,6,6’‐tetrachloro‐1,1’,3,3’‐tetraethylbenzimidazolylcarbocyanine iodide (JC‐1) (Beyotime) fluorescence probe.14 In brief, after treatment, cells were washed with PBS and stained with JC‐1 for 20 minutes at 37 ℃. Cells were then rinsed twice with warm DMEM, incubated in 1 ml of culture medium, and visualized under a fluorescence microscope (Olympus). Fluorescence intensity was quantified using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health).

Antioxidant activities of Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and Glutathione reductase (GR) were assessed using the Superoxide dismutase Assay Kits (Item No. 706002), Glutathione Peroxidase Assay Kit (Item No. 703102), Glutathione Reductase Assay Kits (Item No. 703202), respectively, following the manufacturers’ instructions (Cayman Chemical Company, Ann Arbor, MI). Absorbance for serum SOD was measured at 450 nm while absorbance for plasma GPx and GR were read once every minute at 340 nm using a plate reader (Bio-Tek Instrument Inc., Winooski, VT) and a software program (KC4, version #3.3, Bio Tek Instruments) to obtain at least 5-time points. The concentration of GPx and GR were expressed as nmol/min/mL while SOD was expressed as U/mL equivalent.

On d 20 and 26 (6 and 12 dpi, respectively), liver samples were collected from the selected bird and kept at −80°C, and the activities of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and concentration of reduced and oxidized glutathione (GSH and GSSG, respectively) were measured. The Glutathione Peroxidase Assay Kits (Cayman Chemical, Glutathione Peroxidase Assay Kits, item No. 703102, Ann Arbor, MI), Superoxide Dismutase Assay Kits (Cayman Chemical, Superoxide Dismutase Assay Kit, item No. 706002, Ann Arbor, MI), and Glutathione Assay Kits (Cayman Chemical, Glutathione Assay Kit, item No. 703002, Ann Arbor, MI) were used. Sample preparation and assay were performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Additionally, a protein quantification assay kit (Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit, Ref. 23227, Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL) was used to standardize the samples. The procedure followed the manufacturer's instructions, and bovine serum albumin (2 mg/mL) was used as the protein standard.

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.
