Biochemical Marker Quantification Protocol

The separated serum was used to estimate some biochemical markers such as liver function tests, e.g., alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), gamma-glutamyl transferase (γGT), total protein, albumin, globulin, total bilirubin, and kidney function tests, e.g., creatinine, urea, and cystatin C. Besides, quantitative measurements of carbonyl protein content and malonaldehyde (MDA) were performed to evaluate protein and lipid peroxidation, respectively. All biochemical tests listed above were completed using a fully automated biochemical analyzers (HumaStar 600, Human Diagnostics Worldwide, Germany) except cystatin C and carbonyl protein contents that were quantified according to the instructions provided by the kit manufacturer (ab119590, Abcam, UK) and (ab126287, Abcam, UK), respectively, using a 96-well plate reader (Synergy HTX, BioTeK, USA). The evaluation of lipid peroxidation was performed by the determination of malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration in plasma samples, according to Lima et al. [17 (link)]. A serum sample of 250 μl was mixed with 500 μl of 0.6% 2-thiobarbaturic acid (TBA) (T5500, Sigma Aldrich, USA).

The homogenate of cortical brain tissue was used to measure total antioxidant capacity, lipid peroxidation, and protein carbonylation. The concentrations of total antioxidant capacity (Sigma-Aldrich, MAK187), malondialdehyde (MDA, Sigma-Aldrich, MAK085), and protein carbonyl content (Abcam, ab126287) were measured according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The concentration of total antioxidants was calculated as nmol per μL, MDA was calculated as nmol per mg protein, and the protein carbonyl content was calculated as nmol per mg protein. All measurements were performed by a person who was blinded to the grouping.

Oxidative Stress and Lipid Peroxidation in S. aureus Induced by CBLEO

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation of S. aureus induced by CBLEO were assessed by detecting the amounts of ROS generation and protein oxidation (two key markers of oxidative stress) and MDA accumulation (one biomarker of lipid peroxidation) [7 (link),71 (link)]. The S. aureus cells (107 CFU/mL) were incubated with different doses (1/2×MIC, 1×MIC, and 2×MIC) of CBLEO at 37 °C, and the samples were collected respectively at different times (0−8 h). After centrifuging at 10,000 rpm for 10 min under 4 °C, the obtained cell pellets were used to determine protein carbonyl, ROS, and MDA by using assay kits of ab126287, ab113851, and ab118970 (Abcam, Shanghai, China), respectively. The amount of ROS was given in fold of untreated controls, and the content of protein carbonyl (protein oxidation product) was standardized to the used amount of S. aureus cells and defined as nmol/mg. The MDA content was standardized to the used amounts of S. aureus cells, and the result was expressed as nmol/mg.

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.
