After an overnight fast, blood was collected in sterile Vacutainer® tubes containing heparin, Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, or spray‐coated silica and a polymer gel for serum separation (Beckton Dickinson), centrifuged at 1550 g (15 min, 4°C), and plasma and serum were stored at −80°C until further analyses. Fasting plasma glucose was determined with a commercial assay on the Cobas 8000 c702 analyzer (Roche). Plasma insulin was determined using the ADVIA Centaur XP Immunoassay System (Siemens), according to the manufacturer's protocol. Plasma total cholesterol, HDL‐C, and triglycerides were determined using commercial assays (Diasys and WAKO) on the Selectra® (Sopachem) 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.
