The specimens were coated with 0.7 nm of OsO4 (HPC-1SW, Japan). Each specimen was observed using a scanning electron microscope (Hitachi, SU-70) and underwent EDX microanalysis (EDAX Genesis; Pv 77, EDAX, USA) to analyze the elements of the area of interest. The compositions of the elements were compared.
Murine macrophages from the Cell Bank (RAW264.7; Korean Cell Line Bank No. 40071) were grown on the control and experimental discs. The growth of the cell culture was stopped at 1 h after seeding by fixing the samples. All materials including raw materials were prepared for scanning electron microscopic examination. After immobilization of the samples on the plate, each sample was coated with gold and examined using a scanning electron microscope (H-800, Hitachi, Japan).

For nitric oxide determination, the mouse macrophage cell line RAW264.7 purchased from the Korea Cell Line Bank (Seoul, Korea) was cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin-streptomycin. Cells (1 × 106 cells/mL) in 6 well plates were stimulated with 100 ng/mL LPS for 24 h in the presence of UWG or CWG. Fifty microliters supernatant was incubated with an equal volume of Griess reagent (Sigma) for 15 min at room temperature. We measured the absorbance at 550 nm with the microplate reader. Sodium nitrite was used as a standard.

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.
