Fasting blood were drawn from antecubital vein in dry tubes (fasting 12 hr) while the participants rested in sitting position, before and after the 12 weeks. After centrifugation, samples were stored at −80°C until analysis. TC, HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), and TG were assessed by the enzymatic colorimetric method on an Architect C8000 system (Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, IL, USA) using the respective reagent kits. LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) was calculated as described by the Friedewald formula (Friedewald et al., 1972 (link)).

Fasting serum samples were obtained prior to chemotherapy from each recruited subject, aliquoted and stored at -80 °C in the facilities of the PTV Bio.Ca.Re. or of the SR-BioBIM. Routine chemistry studies, including fasting blood glucose (Hexokinase/Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-based methodology; Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, IL, United States), were performed on fresh samples within one hour from blood withdrawal on an ARCHITECT c8000 System (Abbott Laboratories). Fasting insulin levels were analyzed on serum samples using a fully automated Lumipulse G 600 II chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay analyzer (Fujirebio Inc. Tokyo, Japan) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The HOMA index (a marker of insulin resistance) was retrospectively calculated for each participating subject from fasting blood glucose and insulin according to the formula: glucose (mg/dL) × insulin (μIU/mL)/405.
HbA1C levels were immediately measured on EDTA anticoagulated whole blood by a Tosoh G7 Automated HPLC Analyzer - HbA1c Variant Analysis Mode (Tosoh Bioscience, Rivoli, TO, Italy), certified by the NGSP (National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program) and traceable to the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial.
All measurements were ascertained while blinded to the sample origin and to the study endpoint.

Measurement of Cardiac Biomarkers

Serum troponin I was determined in the BiomarCaRE core laboratory using a highly sensitive troponin I immunoassay (Abbott Diagnostics, USA, ARCHITECT i2000SR). The limit of detection for the assay was 1.9 ng/L (range 0–50 000 ng/L). The assay had a 10% coefficient of variation at a concentration of 5.2 ng/L. The high-sensitivity assayed troponin I is denoted as ‘troponin I’ during the course of the manuscript. The study-specific intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation are described in Supplementary material online, Table S2. N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels were measured on the ELECSYS 2010 and the Cobas e411 using an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA, Roche Diagnostics). The analytical range is 5–35.000 ng/L. C-reactive proteins were measured with the routine laboratory using an Abbott Architect c8000 system and the CRP Vario immunoassay.

All patients were asked to fast after 8 p.m. the previous night and to complete venous blood collection and blood pressure measurement between 6 and 8 a.m. the following morning. All collected blood samples were taken immediately to the hospital laboratory center and tested by 11 a.m. The biochemical parameters were tested included fasting blood glucose (FBG), total serum cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), anti-thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb), and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb). FBG, TC, TG, HDL-C, and LDL-C were measured by ARCHITECT C8000 System (Abbott Laboratories, Irving, TX, USA). Blood pressure was measured by Omron HBP-1300 electronic manometer. FT3, FT4, TSH, TgAb, and TPOAb were detected by Roche C6000 Electrochemiluminescence Immunoassay Analyzer (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN, USA). The diagnostic criteria were as follows: (1) abnormal glucose metabolism: FBG > 6.1 mmol/l; (2) abnormal lipid metabolism: TC ≥ 5.2 mmol/l or TG ≥ 1.7 mmol/l or LDL-C ≥ 3.4 mmol/l or HDL-C < 1.0 mmol/l (29 (link)); (3) hypertension: diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg or systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg.

The VLDbL includes direct measurements of TC, LDL-C, very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), HDL-C, and other lipoprotein parameters. Measurements were performed by VAP to separate lipoprotein classes by density into all five classes (HDL, LDL-Real [LDL-R; the LDL without Lp(a) and IDL], VLDL, IDL, and Lp(a)) and then measure the cholesterol component via enzymatic analysis and spectrophotometric absorbance. The accuracy of VAP was validated by annual yearly random split-sample comparisons with preparative ultracentrifugation or BQ at the Washington University in St. Louis Core Laboratory for Clinical Studies (r = 0.986, r = 0.969, respectively; bias 0.6%, 1.7%, respectively). Correlation coefficients from an analysis using 40 split serum specimens comparing VAP to BQ were: 0.99 for total cholesterol, 0.99 for HDL-C, 0.98 for LDL-C, and 0.98 for VLDL-C [20 (link)]. TG levels were directly measured with the Architect C-8000 system (Abbott Laboratories, IL), which were compared with samples from the University of Alabama School of Medicine for quality assessment.

Direct measurements of LDL-C, IDL-C, VLDL-C, and HDL-C were conducted using inverted rate zonal, single vertical spin, and density gradient ultracentrifugation by the VAP technique. A high level of accuracy in VAP testing was confirmed through split sample comparisons conducted yearly (2007-2012) with beta quantification at Washington University’s Core Laboratory for Clinical Studies reference laboratory for lipoprotein analysis, St. Louis, MO. Triglycerides were measured with the Abbott ARCHITECT C-8000 system (Abbott Park, IL). Friedewald-estimated LDL-C was determined as described previously in individuals with TG <400 mg/dL.45 (link) LLDR was calculated as described previously as ln[(LDL3-C + LDL4-C)/(LDL1-C + LDL2-C)].24 RLP-C was calculated as described previously as VLDL3-C + IDL-C.30 (link),46 (link) To convert lipoprotein values from mg/dL to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0259. To convert TG values from mg/dL to mmol/L, multiply by 0.0113.

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.
