11 protocols using infinity alt liquid stable reagent

1

Serum ALT and Liver Triglycerides

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels were assessed as a measure of liver damage by using the Infinity ALT liquid stable reagent (Thermo Electron, Waltham, MA). Triglycerides were extracted from liver homogenates with chloroform/methanol (2:1 v/v) and triglyceride concentration assayed using commercially available reagents (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI).

Hepatic Steatosis and Oxidative Stress

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hepatic steatosis was measured by image analysis of Oil Red O staining and biochemically using Triglyceride Reagent (Synermed). Liver lipid peroxidation (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, TBARS) was assessed as a measure of oxidative stress as described by Ohkawa, Ohishi, & Yagi (1979). Serum alanine amino transferase activities (ALTs) were measured to assess liver necrosis using the Infinity™ ALT liquid stable reagent (Thermo Electron Corp., Waltham, MA) according to manufacturer’s protocols.

Spectrophotometric ALT Enzyme Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Plasma or serum ALT activity was determined as a biochemical indicator of hepatocellular injury. Infinity ALT Liquid Stable Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Waltham, MA) was used to determine ALT activity. Briefly, 100 μL of reagent was added to 10 μL serum or plasma samples, and absorbance was measured spectrophotometrically at 340 nmusing a Bio-Tek Power Wave X Spectrophotometer. ALT activity (IU/L) was determined using the molar extinction coefficient of NADH (6.3 mM−1cm−1).

Hepatic Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were anesthetized, injected with heparin (100 U/kg), and an atraumatic clip was used to interrupt the hepatic artery/portal venous blood supply to the left/middle liver lobes.25 (link) After 60 min of partial (75%) warm ischemia, the clamp was removed, and mice were sacrificed at 6 h of reperfusion. The sALT levels were measured with Infinity ALT Liquid Stable Reagent (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL).
To focus on macrophage-specific Ikaros function, CD11b-DTR mice were first treated with diphtheria toxin (DT; 25 ng/g i.v. at day −1) to deplete native CD11b+ cells,26 (link) and then infused with in vitro generated siRNA-Ikaros vs. siRNA-Control macrophages (5×105 cells i.v.) at 1 h before hepatic IR-insult. DT treatment does not trigger hepatotoxicity in WT mice.26 (link)For further details regarding the materials and methods used, please refer to the CTAT table and supplementary information.

Serum Biomarker Quantification for Hepatocyte Injury

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the animal experiments, immediately after euthanasia, we collected systemic blood from the inferior vena cava. Serum was obtained by centrifugation of whole blood at 10,000 rpm for 10 minutes. For the in vitro experiments, cell-free culture supernatant was concentrated to 500 μL using Microcon centrifugal filter devices (Millipore, Billerica, MA). To determine the extent of hepatocyte injury, quantification of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was performed from serum and concentrated culture supernatant using the Infinity ALT Liquid Stable Reagent (Thermo Scientific, Middletown, VA).

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.
