Antioxidant Capacity Determination in Coral Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total antioxidant capacity measurement was determined using the “OxiSelectTM TAC Assay Kit” (Cell Biolabs Inc.) according to the manufacturer's instructions. This assay measures the TAC of biomolecules via single electron transfer mechanism (Huang, Boxin, & Prior, 2005). Specifically, the commercial kit employed is based on the reduction of copper (II) to copper (I) by antioxidants, with marginal radical interference. Upon reduction, the copper (I) ion further reacts with a coupling chromogenic reagent with a maximum absorbance at 490 nm. The net absorbance values of antioxidants of coral samples were compared with a known uric acid standard curve, with absorbance values being proportional to the sample's total reductive capacity. Absorbance readings were performed in a 96‐well flat‐bottom transparent microplate using spectrofluorometer (Ultrospec 2100 pro). Data were normalized considering the total protein content in the sample homogenates in each well and expressed as µmol L−1 copper reducing equivalents mg protein−1.

Measuring Antioxidant Capacity in Canary Plasma

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We measured TAC in plasma samples using the TAC kit (OxiSelectTM TAC Assay Kit, Cell BioLabs) according to the provided protocol. This assay relies on the tendency of antioxidants to reduce copper (ii) to copper (i), creating a color change in the solution that can be compared to a known uric acid standard dilution. After preliminary testing, we established that a 1:4 dilution of canary plasma yielded best results within the provided standard curve. We diluted 5 μL of plasma in 15 μL of PBS in duplicate for each individual. Results are reported in units of μM copper reduction equivalents.

Serum vitamin E concentrations were analyzed in serum samples collected on day 14 and day 35 by the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at Iowa State University (Ames, IA). Samples were analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography. Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) was measured in serum samples using the Oxiselect™ TAC assay kit according to the manufacturers’ protocol (Cell BioLabs, Inc., San Diego, CA, catalog number STA360). Absorbance was measured at 490 nm on a microplate reader (Bio Tek Instruments®, Synergy HT, Winooski, VT), using a software program (KC4™, Bio Tek Instruments®, Winooski, VT). Results were expressed as μmol/L copper reducing equivalents (CRE), which are proportional to the sample’s total antioxidant capacity. Intra-and inter-assay CV were 2.1% and 3.5%, respectively.

Quantifying Total Antioxidant Capacity

TAC, in terms of copper reducing equivalent (CRE) of the sample, was evaluated using OxiSelect™ TAC Assay Kit (Cell Biolabs, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA; Catalog Number: STA- 360) [25 (link)]. The components of the kit were uric acid standard (Part No. 236001), reaction buffer, 100X (Part No. 236002), copper ion reagent 100X (Part No. 236003) and stop solution, 10X (Part No. 236004). The assay protocol was as per the manufacturer’s product manual. Briefly, 20 μL of the sample in various concentrations and 180 μL of 1X reaction buffer were transferred to each well in a 96 well plate and mixed thoroughly. An initial absorbance was taken at 490 nm. The reaction was started by adding 50 μL of 1X copper ion reagent into each well and incubated on an orbital shaker for 5 min. Then the reaction was stopped by adding 50 μL of 1X stop solution to each well and absorbance was measured again. The net absorbance was calculated by subtracting the initial reading from the final reading and the mM uric acid equivalent (UAE) was determined from the uric acid standard curve. Finally, the CRE was determined by multiplying UAE by 2189.

Plasma Antioxidant Capacity Assessment

Plasma total antioxidant capacity (TAC) level was evaluated using the OxiSelect™ TAC Assay Kit (Cell Biolabs, Inc.), following the manufacturer’s instructions. In brief, TAC assay is based on a copper reduction reaction from copper (II) to copper (I) in the presence of an antioxidant such as uric acid. The absorbance values were read at 490 nm against the uric acid serial dilution standard curve (0–1 mM) and were directly proportional to the plasma TAC expressed as μM of uric acid equivalents.

Oleoresins obtained from dichloromethane extraction of lyophilized spirulina (AquaSolar™) and maqui (Isla Natura™) were prepared as described above for Gracilex® production. The oleoresins were resuspended in DMSO, and 50 µL of sample was taken to measure the antioxidant capacity using an OxiSelect™ TAC Assay Kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Cell Biolabs, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA), which is based on the reduction of copper (II) to copper (I), also known as a cupric ion reduction antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) assay [47 (link)]. Uric acid was used as a standard to calculate the milli-equivalents of antioxidant.
