Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We measured male plasma alcohol concentrations using an Ethanol Assay Kit (catalog no. ECET100; BioAssay Systems, Hayward, CA, USA) according to manufacturer's protocol. We determined plasma insulin levels post-mortem using the Mouse Insulin ELISA kit (catalog no. EMINS; Thermo-Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA), according to the recommended protocol. We measured levels of IL1B, IL6, and TNFα using commercial ELISA assays (catalog no. KMC0061 and KMC0011; Thermo-Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA and catalog mo. Ab100689 and Ab100747; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA). To determine total cholesterol levels, we used the Total Cholesterol Assay Kit (catalog no. STA- 384; Cell Biolab, Inc, San Diego, CA USA), according to the recommended protocol. To compare the levels of low-density and high-density lipoproteins, we used a colorimetric Cholesterol Assay Kit (catalog no. ab65390; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), according to the recommended protocol. We used the Triglyceride Assay Kit (catalog no. ab65336; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) to contrast the abundance of hepatic triglycerides, according to the suggested protocol. To compare the levels of hydroxyproline, we used the Hydroxyproline Assay Kit (catalog no. MAK008; Millipore-Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA), and followed the recommended protocol.

Ethanol Kinetics in Rat Blood

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood ethanol concentrations were measured in another group of rats to avoid perturbing blood pressure and heart rate measurement. Prior to blood withdrawal, the rats were anesthetized using short-term inhalation anesthetic isoflurane (Panion & BF Biotech Inc., Taoyuan, Taiwan). The blood sample of 0.1 mL was withdrawn from the lateral tail vein using heparinized syringes at 30 min, 60 min, 120 min, and 180 min after oral gavage administration on day 1, day 3 and day 8. Blood ethanol levels were determined by an ethanol assay kit available commercially (BioAssay Systems, Hayward, CA); the rate of increase in absorbance at 580 nm was recorded with a microplate spectrophotometer (Epoch™, BioTek Instruments, Inc., Winooski, VT, USA).

Male plasma alcohol concentrations were measured using an Ethanol Assay Kit (catalog# ECET100; BioAssay Systems, Hayward, CA, USA) according to manufacturer’s protocol. Animals were euthanized by cervical dislocation, blood collected postmortem and plasma insulin levels determined using the Mouse Insulin ELISA kit (catalog# EMINS; Thermo-Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA), according to the recommended protocol. Levels of IL1B, IL6, INFg and TNFa were determined using commercial ELISA assays (catalog# KMC0061 and KMC0011; Thermo-Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA and catalog# Ab100689 and Ab100747; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA). Total cholesterol levels were determined using the Total Cholesterol Assay Kit (catalog# STA-384; Cell Biolab, Inc, San Diego, CA USA), according to the recommended protocol. The comparative levels of low-density and high-density lipoproteins were determined using a Cholesterol Assay Kit (catalog# ab65390; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), according to the recommended protocol. The levels of hydroxyproline were determined using the Hydroxyproline Assay Kit (catalog# MAK008; Millipore-Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA), following to the recommended protocol.

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.
