Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell-free culture media (0.5 ml) were mixed with 2 ng of deuterated internal standard solutions, centrifuged (12000× g, 3 min), mixed with 6 ml of 0.1% acetic acid, and loaded onto Oasis® PRiME hydrophilic lipophilic balance (HLB) solid-phase lipid extraction cartridge (60 mg, 3cc, (Waters, Milford, MA, USA) catalogue number 186008056). The cartridge was washed with 2 ml of 15% methanol containing 0.1% formic acid and the lipids were sequentially eluted with 500 μl of anhydrous methanol and 500 μl of acetonitrile. The resulting samples were mixed, concentrated by evaporation of the solvent under gentle stream of nitrogen, and stored at −80 °C. The target eicosanoids were identified by triple quadrupole UPLC-MS/MS (Shimadzu 8040, Kyoto, Japan) under previously reported run conditions [17 (link)] and quantified by comparing their MS, MS/MS, and UPLC (retention times, peak areas) data with the data obtained for deuterated internal standard compounds (6-keto PGF-d4 (cat.no. 315210), TXB2-d4 (cat.no. 319030), PGF-d4 (cat.no. 316010), PGE2-d4 (cat.no. 314010), PGD2-d4 (cat.no. 312010), LTB4-d4 (cat.no. 320110), 12(S)-HETE-d8 (cat.no. 334570) (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) of the same classes using Lipid Mediator Version 2 software package (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan).

Serum Lipid and Eicosanoid Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood was collected during terminal procedures after fasting (5 h) and spun to isolate serum, then stored at −80 °C. Serum samples were subsequently analyzed for insulin and IL-10 levels using ELISAs (Millipore and R&D Systems, respectively) or total cholesterol and triglycerides (Sigma). For eicosanoid analysis, PGE2 was extracted from serum in methanol and isolated by C18 solid-phase extraction chromatography. PGE2-d4 (Cayman Chemicals, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) was added to the experimental system as an internal standard. PGE2 was analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) using a TSQ Quantum Ultra triple quadrupole mass spectrometer coupled to an Accela 1250 UHPLC system (Thermo Scientific, Hemel Hempstead, UK) in negative ion mode with a C18 column and methanol-water gradient. Quantification was performed using the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode using the transitions PGE2 (351 → 271) and PGE2-d4 (355 → 193). The concentration of PGE2 was determined by comparison to a calibration curve run in parallel.

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.
