Serum Biomarkers in Ethanol Study

The baseline blood samples were taken 2 weeks prior to starting the control or ethanol diet. Serum was collected from the terminal blood of the mice at sacrifice. For the analysis of serum acetate at the 2-week time point of the ethanol diet, 20 μl of hind-limb venous blood was collected into a capillary. The isolated serum together with the baseline and sacrifice serum samples was analyzed with the acetate colorimetric assay kit (MAK086, Sigma-Aldrich). The ALT activity assay kit (MAK052, Sigma-Aldrich) was used to determine serum ALT levels. Serum total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels were determined by an enzymatic method (Roche Diagnostics), and LDL + VLDL cholesterol values were calculated using the Friedewald equation [16 (link)]. Serum insulin levels were determined with the Rat/Mouse Insulin ELISA kit (EZRMI-13 K, Millipore). Blood glucose concentrations were measured with a glucometer and the homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index was calculated from the blood glucose and serum insulin values. Blood ethanol levels were determined with the Ethanol Assay Kit (Sigma Aldrich, MAK076-1KT) by a coupled enzyme reaction that results in a colorimetric product. The absorbances of the colorimetric products were determined with the Infinite M1000 Pro Multimode Plate Reader (Tecan).

ATPase activity was assessed using a malachite green assay (Biomol Green reagent, Enzo Life Sciences) as described in (Rule, et al., 2016 ). Reactions were assembled with 20 μM enzyme in 20 mM HEPES pH 8.5, 13 mM NaCl, and 1% glycerol in the presence of 5 mM ATP and 5 mM MgCl2 totaling 30 μL volume. Reactions were initiated by the addition of ATP and MgCl2 and 5 μL aliquots were removed at time 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 min. The reactions were incubated in a water bath at 37 °C and quenched by diluting aliquots into 245 μL 1x HNG buffer followed by flash freezing in liquid nitrogen. Samples were thawed and two 50 μL aliquots from each time point were pipetted into flat bottom 96 well clear plates (Fisher). To determine amounts of orthophosphate released, 100 μL of Biomol Green reagent was added to each well, and allowed to incubate at 25 °C for 25 min. Following incubation, plates were read at 620 nm using a Tecan Infinite M1000 Pro multimode plate reader. The mean ± SEM was derived from the cumulative data generated from three separate experiments.

Assessing U-937 Cell Viability

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
U-937 cell viability was assessed using a resazurin-based fluorescence
assay (46 ). For IC50determination, U-937 cells were seeded (1.5 ×104 cells/well)
in costar black 96-well clear bottom plates with LB-100 serially diluted with or
without 500 nM dexamethasone to generate the indicated final concentrations.
Following 48 hours, the resazurin solution (for details see supplemental material) was added to
reach a final concentration of 120 μM and incubated for 24 hours. At 72
hours, the relative fluorescence was measured at 540 ± 20 nm excitation
and 620 ± 20 nm emission on a Tecan Infinite M1000 Pro multimode plate
reader. All assays were conducted in quadruplicate and the mean ± SD was
derived from the cumulative data generated from four separate experiments
(n=16).

Lipid Extraction and Triglyceride Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hepatic, placental, and gonadal WAT lipids were extracted by digestion overnight in an ethanol‐KOH solution at +55°C followed by centrifugation. The lipids in the supernatant were then precipitated on ice with MgCl2. After another centrifugation, the supernatant was assayed for triglycerides by an enzymatic method (Roche Diagnostics) and the absorbance of the colorimetric products was determined with the Infinite M1000 Pro Multimode Plate Reader (Tecan).

Hepatic Lipid Extraction and Triglyceride Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hepatic lipids were extracted by overnight digestion in an ethanol-KOH-solution at +55 °C followed by centrifugation at 10 000 g for 5 min. The lipids in the supernatant were precipitated on ice with MgCl2. After a second centrifugation at 10 000 g for 5 min the supernatant was assayed for triglycerides by an enzymatic method (Roche Diagnostics) and the absorbances of the colorimetric products were determined with the Infinite M1000 Pro Multimode Plate Reader (Tecan). Primary hepatocytes from WT and Hif-p4h-2gt/gt mice were treated with 0.5 mM NAC, 100 mM EtOH or combination of both for 72 h. In the latter case, cells were pretreated with 0.5 mM NAC for 1 h before the EtOH challenge. The dose of NAC and/or EtOH was added each day with a fresh medium to maintain the NAC and/or EtOH at a constant level. Triglyceride content was measured in the cell extracts of 1 × 106 viable cells using Triglyceride quantification kit (MAK266, Sigma-Aldrich) 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.
