Multi species leptin ria kit

Manufactured by Linco Research
Sourced in United States

The Multi-Species Leptin RIA kit is an in-vitro diagnostic assay designed for the quantitative measurement of leptin in various animal species. The kit utilizes a radioimmunoassay (RIA) technique to determine the concentration of leptin in biological samples, such as serum or plasma. The core function of this product is to provide a reliable and standardized method for researchers to assess leptin levels across multiple animal species.

At the end of growing, fattening and finishing periods, blood samples (20 mL) were taken from the jugular veins of steers using syringe and then transferring the blood into heparin coated sterile vacutainer (Becton Dickinson, NJ, USA) wrapped with foil. Next, plasma was harvested by centrifugation (3,000 rpm, 20 min). All harvested plasma was rapidly frozen and stored at −70°C until further assay.
Blood biochemical components including aspartic acid transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), glucose, total protein, albumin, cholesterol, and triglyceride were analyzed with the Automatic Biochemical Analyzer (HI System, Technicon, Tarrytown, NY, USA).
Plasma insulin and leptin were assayed by enzyme-immunoassay using Multi-species Insulin RIA kit and Multi-species Leptin RIA kit (Linco Research, Inc, St. Charles, MO, USA), respectively. I125 radioactivity was monitored using γ-counter (COBRATM II, Packard Bioscience, Downers Grove, IL, USA).

Comprehensive Lipid Profile and Insulin Resistance Evaluation

Total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-cholesterol), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-cholesterol), triacylglycerols (TAG), phospholipids, total protein, urea, glucose, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were analysed through diagnostic kits (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany), using a Modular Hitachi Analytical System (Roche Diagnostics). Very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-cholesterol) and total lipids were calculated by Friedewald et al. [54 (link)] and Covaci et al. [55 ] formulas, respectively. Insulin and leptin concentrations were determined through the Porcine Insulin RIA kit (PI-12 K, Linco Research, Millipore, MA, USA) and the Multi-Species Leptin RIA kit (XL-85 K, Linco Research), respectively. To calculate the degree of insulin resistance, it was used the homeostasis model assessment using the insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR): fasting plasma glucose (mmol/L) times fasting plasma insulin (mU/L) divided by 22.5 [56 (link)]. Low HOMA-IR values indicate high insulin sensitivity, while high HOMA-IR values indicate high insulin resistance [56 (link)].

Serum insulin levels were measured using a radioimmunoassay (rInsulin [I-125] RIA kit; Institute of Isotopes Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan); the sensitivity of the assay was 0.06 ng/mL. Serum leptin levels were measured using another radioimmunoassay kit (multi-species leptin RIA kit; Linco Research, Inc., St. Charles, MO, USA); the sensitivity of the assay was 1.0 ng/mL, and the inter-and intra-assay coefficients of variation (CVs) were 3.2% and 7.8%, respectively. Serum estradiol (E2) and testosterone levels were measured by a commercial laboratory (SRL, Tokyo, Japan) using an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (Roche Diagnostics GmbH). Serum luteinizing hormone (LH) levels were measured using a radioimmunoassay (rLH [I-125] RIA kit; Institute of Isotopes Co., Ltd.); the sensitivity of the assay was 0.8 ng/mL, and the inter-and intra-assay CV were 7.7% and 6.5%, respectively. Serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels were measured using a radioimmunoassay (rFSH [I-125] RIA kit; Institute of Isotopes Co., Ltd.); the sensitivity of the assay was 0.09 ng/mL and the inter-and intra-assay CV were 10.3 and 8.4%, respectively.

Concentrations of leptin were determined in incubation medium by using a multi-species leptin RIA kit (LINCO Research, St. Charles, USA) according to the instructions of the manufacturer.
RIA was validated for use in samples of culture medium. The cross-reactivity of leptin antiserum to human leptin was 100%, while to porcine, rat, mouse, and canine leptins was 67%, 61%, 73%, and 3%, respectively. Its cross reactivity to human insulin, human proinsulin, human C-peptide, rat insulin, glucagon, and IGF-I was less than 0.001%. Leptin assay sensitivity was 0.801 ng/ml. Intra and interassay coefficients of variation did not exceed 3.6% and 8.7 %, respectively. RIA was validated for use in samples of culture medium by dilution tests.

Total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, TAG, phospholipids, total proteins, urea, N and glucose concentrations, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were analysed using diagnostic kits (Roche Diagnostics) and a Modular Hitachi Analytical System (Roche Diagnostics). VLDL-cholesterol and total lipids were calculated as described by Friedewald et al. (23) and Covaci et al. (24) , respectively. Free fatty acids (FFA) were quantified using the Free Fatty Acid Quantification Kit (BioVision Inc.). Insulin and leptin concentrations were determined through the Porcine Insulin RIA kit (PI-12K; Linco Research) and the Multi-Species Leptin RIA kit (XL-85K; Linco Research), respectively. The degree of insulin resistance was calculated by the homoeostasis model assessment using the insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR): fasting serum glucose (mmol/l) times fasting serum insulin (mU/l) divided by 22•5 (25)

Plasma concentrations of glucose (glucose oxidase/peroxidase method) were determined with an automatic analyzer (GernonStar; RAL/TRANSASIA, Dabhel, India). The reagents for the glucose analyses were provided by the manufacturer of the analyzer (RAL Técnica para el Laboratorio, S.A., Barcelona, Spain). The intra-and interassay CV were 1.5 and 0.9%, respectively. The sensitivity was 0.056 mmol/L. Circulating IGF-I concentrations were quantified with a solid-phase EIA assay (Immulite; Siemens Medical Solutions Diagnostics Limited, Llanberis, Gwynedd, UK). The mean intra-and interassay CV were 3.1 and 12.0%, respectively. The sensitivity of the technique was 20 ng/mL. Plasma leptin concentrations were determined using RIA with a multispecies commercial kit (Multispecies Leptin Ria kit; Linco Research, Inc., St. Charles, MO). The mean intra-and interassay CV were 3.5 and 6.9%, respectively. The sensitivity was 1.30 ng/mL.

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.
