The assessment of liver function was performed by determining specific serum biomarkers, including aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), total cholesterol (CHO), triglycerides (TG), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL), were conducted by using clinical chemistry reagent kits (Randox Laboratories Ltd., Antrim, UK) according to the manufacturer's institutions. Plasma samples were acquired by collecting blood using EDTA tubes and then centrifuged at 1500 x g for 10 min at 4°C. The resulting supernatant was transferred into a new tube and used as a plasma sample. Determination of biochemical factors in plasma was conducted by enzyme-coupling reactions and colorimetric measurement using an automatic analyzer (Olympus AU2700, Olympus Co., Tokyo, Japan).

A questionnaire was used and face-to-face interview was conducted by uniformly trained investigators to collect personal information, disease history, family history, and lifestyle behavior. During the survey, height, weight, waist circumference (WC), systolic (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were measured and recorded, according to standardized methods. The total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), indirect bilirubin (IBIL), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) were measured using automatic biochemical analyzer (Olympus Au 2700; Olympus diagnostics, Hamburg, Germany). Each subject signed an informed consent form. The investigation was approved by the ethics review committee of the First A liated Hospital of Shihezi University Medical College (IERB No. SHZ2010LL01), and its operations and methods were carried out in accordance with the relevant guidelines.

The concentrations of plasma total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and glucose were analyzed using an automated autoanalyzer (Olympus Au2700; Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). A total of 30 mg epididymal fat was homogenized at 4°C following the addition of 1 ml PBS. The supernatant was carefully collected following centrifugation for 10 min at 1,200 × g at 4°C. Leptin (cat. no. KRC2281), adiponectin (cat. no. KRP0041), interleukin-6 (IL-6; cat. no.

Hepatic function tests: A portion of the liver (500 mg) was used for lipid extraction. The tissues were homogenized in phosphate-buffered saline, and the lipids were extracted using n-hexane-isopropanol (3:2, v/v). Once dry, the lipid extracts were redissolved in 200 μL of isopropanol, and a small volume was used to measure the cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations through enzymatic assays. The activity of the antioxidant enzymes (GSH, GPx, SOD, catalase, GST-α, and total GST assay) was assayed using commercial kits (Randox Laboratories, Antrim, UK). The enzymes were measured using enzymatic colorimetric methods, according to the manufacturer’s protocols.
Serum analysis: The concentrations of the total triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), leptin, adiponectin, AST, ALT, γGT, AFP, TNF-α, and IL-6 were measured using enzymatic colorimetric methods with commercial kits (Randox Laboratories) according to the manufacturer’s protocols.

Oxidative Stress and Inflammation Biomarkers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Serum total oxidative stress (TOS), TAC levels, hs-CRP, gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), and uric acid (UA) levels were measured at baseline. Decreased TAC and increased TOS and UA levels were used as markers of oxidative stress, and increased hs-CRP was used as a marker of inflammation. Laboratory analysis was performed as stated in the previous study12 (link)–14 (link)
. TAC and TOS levels were determined with a spectrophotometric kit (Rel Assay Diagnostics, Gaziantep, Turkey) and read in an auto-analyzer (Olympus AU2700; Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). The TAC and TOS levels were expressed as mmol Trolox equivalent/L and mmol H2O2 equivalent/L, respectively. The oxidative status index (OSI) is defined as the ratio of TOS to TAC levels, expressed as a percentage. For the calculation of OSI, TAC units were represented as mmol/L, and the OSI value calculated according to the following formula: OSI (arbitrary unit) = TOS (mmol H2O2 equiv./L)/TAC (mmol Trolox equiv./L)12 (link)–14 (link)

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.
