Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ejaculated specimens were prepared for FISH aneuploidy assessment as previously described [32 (link)]. Five microliters of semen samples was smeared on glass slides and air-dried overnight. Slides were fixed in Carnoy’s fixative (3:1 methanol:acetic acid) at room temperature and subsequently placed in a 37 °C slide moat overnight. Sperm nuclei decondensation was carried out by incubating slides in 5 mmol/L dithiothreitol (DTT; Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO) in 0.1 M tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Trizma HCl; Sigma Chemical Co.), and then by 3 M sodium chloride and 300 mM tri-sodium citrate dehydrate (2× standard saline citrate; Vysis, Downers Grove, IL), pH 7.0. The decondensed slides were hybridized with fluorescent probes specific for chromosomes X, Y, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, and 22. Sperm nuclei were then counterstained with 4′,6-diamino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; Millipore, Temecula, CA, USA). A minimum of 1000 spermatozoa per specimen were analyzed under an Olympus BX61 fluorescent microscope at 1000×. Incidences of disomy, nullisomy, and diploidy were recorded using a computerized system (Applied Imaging, CytoVysion v3.93.2), with a <1.6% normal threshold [32 (link)].

Measuring Lipid Peroxidation via MDA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MDA production was measured following the method previously described by Esterbauer and Cheeseman [22 ] to assess lipid peroxidation. The peritoneal fluid samples were diluted in Tris HCl buffer (TRIZMA HCl, Sigma Aldrich, São Paulo, Brazil) in distilled water (20 mM, pH 7.4), following homogenization and centrifugation at 10,000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C. To each sample, chromogenic reagent (10.3 mM 1-methyl-2-phenylindole in 3:1 acetonitrile) and HCl (37%) were added. Subsequently, they were incubated for 40 min at 45°C and centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 5 min at 4°C. Absorbance was recorded at 586 nm using Spectrocopical UV/VIS analysis (Biotek, São Paulo, Brazil) and interpolated in a standard curve with 1,1,3,3-tetraethoxypropane. The results are shown in nmol/μl.

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.
