Venous blood samples for vitamin D metabolites were collected at three time points (1 h before, and 1 h and 3 h after the exercise) into tubes containing a coagulation accelerator. The serum was separated using a laboratory centrifuge, aliquotted into 1.5-mL centrifuge tubes, and frozen at −80 °C until further analysis.
Before the analysis, serum proteins were precipitated and derivatized using a Cookson-type reagent (DAPTAD). Proteins were precipitated using acetonitrile. For 1,25(OH)2D3 determination, the sample preparation involved liquid–liquid extraction with ethyl acetate. Quantitative analyses were performed using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (Exion LC system coupled with QTRAP4500, Sciex, Framingham, MA, USA). Chromatographic separation was carried out using an XDB-C18 column (50 × 4.6 mm, 1.7 μm; Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Serum samples were analyzed in the positive ion mode, using electrospray ionization. The concentrations of the following vitamin D metabolites were determined: 25(OH)D3, 24,25(OH)2D3, 1,25(OH)2D3, 3-epi-25(OH)D3, and 25(OH)D2. The concentration range was 1–100 ng/mL for 25(OH)D3; 0.1–10 ng/mL for 25(OH)D2, 3-epi-25(OH)D3, and 24,25(OH)2D3; and 10–200 pg/mL for 1,25(OH)2D3. In addition, the ratios of 25(OH)D3 to 24,25(OH)2D3, and 25(OH)D3 to epi-25(OH)D3 were calculated.

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.
