Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Urinary SECO, ED, and ENL were assayed by isotope dilution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in the SIM mode (HP 6890 GC, HP 5973 MSD; Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA, USA) as described previously [15 (link)]. All lignan measures were normalized to urinary creatinine levels to adjust for urine concentration. Stool samples were thawed, homogenized, and genomic DNA was extracted as described previously [19 (link)]. DNA concentrations and purity were determined using the NanoDrop 8000 Spectrophotometer (ThermoFisher Scientific) and gel electrophoresis. Working stocks were diluted in AE buffer (QIAGEN, Germantown, MD, USA) from genomic DNA and samples were stored at −20 °C until shipped for sequencing. Pooled in-lab designed quality control samples were included in triplicate to assess variation in library preparation and sequencing batches [20 (link)]. The V1–V3 region of the 16S rRNA gene was sequenced using the Illumina MiSeq platform to obtain 2 × 300 bp paired-end reads. Fecal bacterial DNA extraction did not meet quality control standards for 15 participants and 5 participants were excluded for higher baseline vs. post-intervention enterolignan excretion (post-preintervention difference ≤−10 nmol/mg creatinine). Therefore, the final sample sizes for the present analyses were 228 completing baseline assessments and 170 completing all 4 visits.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
About 200 mg of freeze dried powdered roots from various treatments were extracted separately for two times with 1 mL of CHCl3: MeOH (7:3) at room temperature. 20 μg of 5α-Cholestane was employed as the internal standard. The extract upon drying in a rotary evaporator was saponified with 1.5 mL of MeOH and KOH (20% (v/v)) at 80 °C for 1 h, aimed to hydrolyze the sterol esters. Following it, about 1.5 mL of MeOH and 4N HCl each was added and incubated at 80 °C for 1 h. Then, this mixture was extracted thrice with 4 mL of hexane. The sterols got separated to the hexane layer, which was further evaporated to dryness. The resulting powder was subjected to trimethylsilylation with pyridine and N, O-bis (trimethylsilyl) trifluoroacetamide + 1% trimethyl chlorosilane (1:1) for 90 min at 37 °C. Finally, GC-MS analysis was performed using a gas chromatograph (6890 A; Agilent Technologies) with a DB-5 (MS) capillary column (30 m x 30.25 mm, 0.25-mm film thickness) coupled with a mass spectrometer (HP 5973MSD). The reaction conditions were exactly similar to30 . The peak area ratios of molecular ions of the endogenous sterol and that of internal standard were considered to be the actual endogenous sterol levels.

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.
