A Phenomenex Gemini C18 column (110 Å, 5 µm, 4.6 mm×250 mm) was used as a stationary phase, with a mobile phase consisting of deionized water–acetonitrile with the addition of formic acid. The following mixtures were used: water–acetonitrile 95:5 + 0.1% formic acid (eluent A) and acetonitrile–water (95:5) + 0.1% formic acid (eluent B). The flow rate was 0.8 mL/min, at a temperature of 40 °C. The separation was carried out in the gradient elution mode according to [53 (link)]. Injection volumes were 20 µL, in five repetitions. Relative retention times were determined using flavonoid and terpene lactone standards (Acros, J and K, Aldrich-Sigma). The quantitative determination of the isolated components was performed under the HPLC method conditions. A diode-matrix detector with a wavelength range of 190–750 nm was used for this research.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The maternal rats at preconception and five to six pups from each group at postnatal 24 hours, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 18 weeks, 22 weeks and 26 weeks were randomly selected to detect serum retinol levels. The pups younger than 8 weeks old were decapitated to collect the blood; and the blood from the pups at the age of 8 weeks and older were collected via the caudal vein. All pups were decapitated after the last behavioral tests to detect serum retinol levels and confirm the success of the animal models. Serum retinol was measured using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) as previously described [31 (link)]. Briefly, 200 µl of serum was deproteinized with an equal volume of dehydrated alcohol. The retinol was extracted from the serum by adding 1,000 µl of hexane and evaporated with nitrogen gas. The retinol residue was dissolved in 100 µl of the mobile phase mixture (methanol:water=97:3). Then, 20 µl of the dissolved liquid was tested in the HPLC apparatus (DGU-20As, Shimadzu Corporation, Kyoto, Japan) on a silica column with a 315-nm ultraviolet photodiode array detector. All procedures were performed in a dark room to protect the samples from light at the Children’s Nutrition Research Center in the Children’s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University.

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.
