Measurements of cortisol and other hormones including free T4, free T3, TSH, LH, FSH, prolactin, testosterone, and oestradiol were performed by immunoassays on Roche Diagnostics COBAS e601 platform, while GH and ACTH were measured by immunoassays on Siemens IMMULITE 2000 XPi platform. Copeptin was measured with a new sandwich immunoassay, as described before [2 (link), 12 (link)]. This assay has a lower detection limit of 0.4 pmol/l; functional assay sensitivity at <20 % interassay CV, <1 pmol/l [2 (link)].

Physical characteristics including weight, height, waist circumference, and blood pressure were measured by trained medical personnel. Blood pressure was measured using an appropriately sized cuff with the subject in a sitting position after at least 10 min of rest. Waist circumference was measured at the midline between the lowest rib and the iliac crest.
Blood samples were taken after an overnight fast of at least 12 h. White blood cell (WBC) counts were analyzed using a Sysmex-XE2100 automated blood cell analyzer (Sysmex, Kobe, Japan). Fasting plasma glucose (FPG), total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were measured using a Hitachi 7600 automated analyzer (Hitachi Co., Tokyo, Japan). Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was measured using a Tosoh HLC-723 HbG7 analyzer (Tosoh Bioscience Ltd., Redditch, UK). Helicobacter pylori-specific immunoglobulin G concentration was measured using the Immulite 2000 XPi platform (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Erlangen, Germany).

Thyroid Hormone Measurement Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Thyroid‐stimulating hormone (TSH; with additional fT4 measurement if abnormal) was measured on the UniCell® DxI 800 fully automated random access analyser (Beckman Coulter, Nyon, Switzerland) according to the manufacturers’ specifications, as previously described (reference range: 0.40‐4.00 mUI/L). PCT was measured by fully automated homogenous time‐resolved amplified cryptate emission (TRACE) immunometric fluorescent assay on the Kryptor® system (Brahms Thermo Fischer, Hennigsdorf, Germany). The limits of detection and quantification are 0.02 and 0.075 μg/L, respectively, with an upper reference limit of 0.1 μg/L. CT was measured on the IMMULITE®2000 XPi platform (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Erlangen, Germany) in strict adherence to the manufacturer's instructions. The CT assay is standardized against the 2nd International WHO calibrator 89/620. The limits of detection and quantification are 2.00 and 5.00 ng/L, respectively. Upper reference limits, as previously settled in our centre, are 7.7 ng/L for males and 5.5 ng/L for females, respectively.31

Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) was measured using the Immulite 2000XPi platform (Siemens, Los Angeles, CA, USA), while thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) was measured on the Vitros Eci (Ortho Diagnostics, Raritan, NJ, USA). Oestradiol was measured using a COBAS 8000 Modular Analyzer (Roche Diagnostics, Rotkreuz, Switzerland). The corresponding interassay CV was <7%.
Androstenedione, testosterone and DHEAS were measured on a Waters XEVO TQ-S system (Waters, Milford, MA, USA) using the CHSMSMS Steroids Kit (Perkin Elmer, Turku, Finland). The interassay CVs of androstenedione, testosterone and DHEAS were <6.5%, <5% and <5.9%, respectively. Although assessment of blood measurements, including sex steroids, was performed on fasting samples, some of the participants came to the research centre in a non-fasting state.

Steroid Hormone Profiling in Cell Culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
At each experimental time point during culture (3, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h), aliquots (0.5 mL) of culture medium were collected and preserved at −20°C for subsequent steroid assays. A fresh 0.5 mL aliquot of media, containing NGF treatment or control, was added to each well at each time point except 72 h when the experiment was completed. Progesterone, testosterone, and estradiol-17β concentrations at each time point in the culture media were assessed using immunoassays (Immulite 2000 XPi platform; Siemens Medical Solutions, Malvern, PA, USA, Inc.). Total hormone production for each well was calculated by multiplying the measured concentration by the volume of media (0.5 mL) and then dividing by follicle wall cells weight (mg). Intra-assay coefficient of variations were 4.0% (testosterone), 2.4% (progesterone), and 3.1% (estradiol-17β). Inter-assay coefficient of variations were 12% (testosterone), 19% (progesterone), and 15% (estradiol-17β). The progesterone assay had a detection range of 0.2–40 ng/mL and a sensitivity of 0.1 ng/mL. The testosterone assay had a detection range of 20–1,600 ng/mL and a sensitivity of 15 ng/dL. The estradiol-17β assay had a detection range of 20–2,000 pg/mL and a sensitivity of 15 pg/mL.

Ovarian Dynamics Assessment in Cows

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Transrectal ultrasound examination of ovarian structures was carried out on a subset of cows (NGF: n = 32; control: n = 36) using an Easi-Scan coupled with a 7.5-MHz linear probe (Easi-Scan, BCF Technologies). Ovaries were evaluated at d 0, 7, 14, and 19 post-timed AI. The presence of a CL ≥ 10 mm and the presence of a follicle ≥8 mm were recorded. Sizes of the CL, as well as follicles, were estimated using gridlines on the ultrasound image. Corpus luteum volume was calculated using the formula volume = 4/3 × 3.14 × 0.5D 3 , where D = the estimated CL diameter. If a fluid-filled cavity was detected within the CL, the cavity volume was determined similarly and subtracted from the total CL volume.
Whole blood samples were collected from the same subset of cows on which ultrasonography was performed on d 0, 7, 14, and 19 post-timed AI. Blood samples were collected into EDTA tubes and placed on ice within 30 min of collection. Within 4 h, blood samples were centrifuged at 2,000 × g for 20 min at 4°C. Plasma was separated and transferred into polypropylene vials and stored at -20°C until analysis. Progesterone concentrations were analyzed using a chemiluminescence assay (Immulite 2000 XPi platform; Siemens Medical Solutions USA Inc.). The plasma progesterone interassay coefficient of variation was 17.2%, whereas the intraassay coefficient of variation was 2.8%.

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.
