Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+) and its reduced form (NADPH) levels were analyzed using an NADP/NADPH Quantification Colorimetric Kit (BioVision, Milpitas, CA, USA), and the total cellular glutathione (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG) were measured using a Glutathione Fluorometric Assay Kit (BioVision, Milpitas, CA, USA). NADP and NADPH levels were analyzed using NADP/NADPH Quantification Colorimetric Kit (Biovision, Milpitas, CA). A total of 4 × 106 cells were washed with cold PBS and lysed with NADP/NADPH extraction buffer. The supernatant was collected for measurement of NADPH and NADP+/NADPH by UV spectrophotometer at 450 nm. Total Cellular glutathione (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG) was measured using Glutathione Fluorometric Assay Kit (Biovision, Milpitas, CA, USA). Then, 0.4 × 106 cells were prepared by deproteination and subsequent reagents were added following the manufacturer’s instructions. The fluorescence intensity of samples and standards was measured at excitation/emission (Ex/Em) wavelengths = 340/420 nm. Cellular GSH and GSSG contents were calculated with the standard curve generated in parallel experiments and normalized to cell counts.

On the experiment day, participants finished their lunch 2 h before arrival. Blood samples were collected by registered phlebotomists before baseline and 5 min after finishing the exercise. Times to complete all race stages were recorded. The Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE, 1–10 scale) was used to determine the immediate RPE score during sprint triathlon.
To obtain plasma or serum, the blood samples with 5 ml collected into blood sampling tubes with or without ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), respectively, were centrifuged at 3000 rpm at 4°C for 10 min and then stored at −80°C until analysis. Full blood counts were obtained using automated haemocytometry (UniCel DxH900, Beckman Coulter®, America). Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), SOD, and CAT were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, United States); cortisol and testosterone levels were also measured using an ELISA kit (IBL®, Minneapolis, MN, America). GSH and oxidized glutathione (GSSG) were estimated using Glutathione fluorometric assay kit (BioVision, Milpitas, CA, United States) and an ELISA plate reader (Infinite M200Pro, Tecan Group Ltd., Mannedorf, Switzerland).

Intracellular GSH was quantified using Glutathione Fluorometric Assay Kit (Biovision). 4 × 106 cells were collected, lysed in glutathione assay buffer and mixed with pre-chilled perchloric acid. For patient-derived xenograft tumor samples, 40 mg of tumors were homogenized in 100 μl of ice-cold glutathione assay buffer and mixed with pre-chilled perchloric acid. Supernatants were collected, OPA (o-phthalaldehyde) probe was added, the samples were incubated at room temperature for 40 min and fluorescence was measured at Ex/Em = 340/420 nm (Fluostar OPTIMA, BMG LABTECH). Quantification of GSH was done by comparing with GSH standard curve; GSH levels were normalized against protein concentration.

Glycogen and ROS Assay in Astrocytes

The presence of various enzymes and proteins could interfere with the detection of metabolites in cultured astrocytes and consequently be removed using the Deproteinizing Sample Preparation Kit (Biovision, USA). A glycogen assay kit (Biovision) was used to detect glycogen levels in cultured astrocytes. ROS levels were determined using the ROS Detection Assay Kit (Biovision). A glucose-6-phosphate colorimetric assay kit (Biovision) was used to detect the glucose-6-phosphate levels. NADPH levels were determined with the NADPH Quantitation Fluorometric Assay Kit (Biovision). Glutathione levels were analyzed with the Glutathione Fluorometric Assay Kit (Biovision).
To determine the glycogen levels in the brain, the mice were decapitated, and brain tissues in the penumbra were immersed in liquid nitrogen. Then, the brain tissues (10 mg) were homogenized with 200 μL 30% KOH on ice, and the homogenates were boiled for 10 min to inactivate enzymes. The boiled samples were centrifuged at 12,000 rpm at 4 °C for 10 min to remove insoluble sediments. Then, the supernatant was ready for the assay using a glycogen assay kit (Biovision), and the results were normalized to the protein levels in homologous samples.

Glutathione Redox Balance Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Intracellular reduced glutathione (GSH) and oxidised glutathione (GSSG) levels were measured using a glutathione fluorometric assay kit (BioVision) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. In this assay, o-phthalaldehyde (OPA) reacts with GSH present in the sample emitting a fluorescent signal (ex. 340 nm, em. 420 nm) that is measured using a GLOMAX Multidetection System (Promega). To measure GSSG specifically, a GSH Quencher is added to remove GSH, preventing its reaction with OPA. GSSG is reduced to GSH, which is measured using the preceding method. The levels of intracellular GSH were quantified using a standard curve for known amounts of GSH. The GSH/GSSG ratio was calculated as an indicator of redox balance.

Glutathione Quantification Assay in Feeder-free Cells

Feeder-free cells were cultured on Matrigel-coated tissue culture plates in MEF-conditioned ESC medium. On day 3, the cells were washed in PBS and scraped and pelleted by centrifugation. Subsequent steps were carried out using a glutathione fluorometric assay kit (catalogue no K264-100, BioVision) according to the manufacturer’s manual. Briefly, cell pellets were homogenized in ice cold glutathione assay buffer, preserved in perchloric acid and centrifuged. Supernatants were neutralized with potassium hydroxide. After centrifugation, either the supernatant was used to detect reduced glutathione (GSH), or total glutathione was measured by reducing oxidized glutathione (GSSG) to GSH before measurement. For measuring GSSG concentrations specifically, existing GSH was quenched before reducing agent was applied. o-phthalaldehyde probe, which reacts with GSH and emits fluorescence, was added to samples, and signal was acquired at Ex/Em = 340 nm/420 nm on a Varioskan Flash by Thermo Scientific. The oxidation capacity of glutathione was determined by the quantity of total glutathione (GSH+GSSG).

The intracellular GSH level was assessed by using Glutathione Fluorometric Assay Kit (BioVision, San Francisco). The treated cell (2*10^6 per sample) was homogenized on ice with 100 μL of ice cold Glutathione Assay Buffer. To 60 μL of the cell homogenate was added 20 μL perchloric acid (6N) and further homogenized by vortexing for several seconds. After incubation on ice (5 min) the samples were centrifuged for 2 min at 13,000g and 4°C. The collected supernatant (40 μL) was neutralized with 20 μL ice cold KOH and incubation for 5 min on ice. After centrifugation for 2 min at 13,000g, 4°C samples (10 μL) were added to 90 μL of assay buffer. The samples were read on a fluorescence plate reader (Infinite F200, Tecan, Switzerland) after incubation with o‐phthalaldehyde (10 μL) for 40 min at RT. The glutathione concentration was determined based on the standard curve. All samples were performed in triplicates.

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.
