Urine Analysis in Rat Metabolic Cages

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
On Day 0 (for identifying the model establishment) or Day 28 (for evaluating the effects of Huashi Pill), the rats were fed in metabolic-cages and the 24-hour urine was harvested by incubating with 0.02% sodium azide (SinoPharm Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China) to prevent the appearance of bacteria. The urinary pH and urinary volume were evaluated and then the urine was used for the other urine biochemical analysis. The urine protein (urine protein quantitative kit, Cat. No. C035-2, Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Inst., Nanjing, China), uric acid (uric acid assay kit, Cat. No. C012-1, Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Inst.), calcium (calcium assay kit, Cat. No. C004-3, Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Inst.), magnesium (magnesium assay kit, Cat. No. C005, Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Inst.), phosphorus (phosphate assay kit, Cat. No. C006, Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Inst.) were examined by utilizing the commercial kit on the semiautomatic photometer (Mode: 750, Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan) following to the instructions of the manufacturers.
Moreover, the levels of serum urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) were also evaluated using the urea assay kit (Cat. No. C013-1, Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Inst.) and creatinine assay kit (Cat. No. C011-2, Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Inst.), according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Mouse blood samples were centrifuged at 4,500 × g for 10 min to obtain the serum, which was diluted 1:4 with the dilution solution. The diluted solution (50 μL) was tested using a Bio-Plex Pro Mouse Cytokine Grp I Panel 23-plex kit (Bio-Rad, Austin, TX, USA) at Wayne Biotechnology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. according to a previous report (19 (link)) with a bead suspension platform (Bio-Plex MAGPIX System, Bio-Rad). Considering the circadian rhythm of melatonin secretion, we collected serum samples at 4 am (GMT+8). Mouse melatonin levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits (ELISA; Yuanxin Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China), and T-tau, interleukin (IL)-6, MCP-1, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and LCN2 levels were also measured using ELISA kits (Longdeng Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China). The uric acid serum level was tested using the uric acid assay kit (Nanjing Jiancheng Biological Engineering Research Institute, China).

Rumen Fluid Analysis of Lambs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
At the end of the trial, five lambs from each group were randomly selected and euthanized via electrical stunning. Within 30 min postmortem, rumen fluid was collected and filtered through a four-layer cheesecloth, and the pH value was determined by using a portable pH meter immediately (PHS-3C, Shanghai, China). At the same time, 1 ml of ruminal fluid was preserved at −80° for DNA extraction; other samples were processed to analyze VFA, microbial protein (MCP), and ammonia–N (NH3-N). The concentrations of VFA were determined by a gas chromatograph (Agilent Technologies 7820A, USA) based on the method reported previously (14 (link)); the ruminal MCP concentration was detected using a spectrophotometric method, and the concentration of NH3-N was detected using a uric acid assay kit (Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute, Nanjing, China) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Quantification of Uric Acid in Rat Feces and Urine

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
An appropriate amount of frozen rat feces was collected, added proportionally to the PBS solution, and then dissolved in a 60 °C water bath. The sample was vortexed for 1 min and centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 min. The supernatant was then collected for further analysis. Frozen rat urine samples were thawed in a 60 °C water bath and diluted with distilled water until they were free of urate crystals. All samples were assayed according to the instructions of the uric acid assay kit supplied by Jiancheng (Nanjing, China).

Rumen Fluid Analysis of Beef Cattle

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
At the end of the trial, one cattle from each replicate, a total of 12 beef cattles were randomly selected for slaughtering and rumen fluid was then collected through a four-layer cheesecloth. Slaughter was carried out according to the cattle slaughter operation procedures of China, GB/T19477-2004. The pH value was determined by a portable pH meter immediately (PHS-3C, Shanghai, China). At the same time, storing 1 ml of rumen fluid was preserved at –80°C in sterile cryovials and stored in liquid nitrogen for further DNA extraction; other samples were processed to analyze VFA, microbial protein (MCP), and ammonia–N (NH3-N). The concentrations of VFA were determined by a gas chromatograph (Agilent Technologies 7820A, USA) based on the method reported previously (Zhao et al., 2017 (link)); the ruminal MCP concentration was detected using a spectrophotometric method, and the concentration of NH3-N was detected using a uric acid assay kit (Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute, Nanjing, China) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

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.
