Subsequently, 100 μL reaction buffer containing 4.5 mmol/L 4-aminoantioyrine, 2.7 mmol/L TOOS reagent (N-ethyl-N-[2-hydroxy-3-sulfopropyl]-3-methylaniline, a hydrogen donor), 20 U/mL horseradish peroxidase, 3 U/mL choline oxidase, 4.5 mmol/L MgCl2, 100 mmol/L Tris, pH 8.0) was added and incubated for another 10 minutes at room temperature to allow for color reaction. The absorbance was measured at 555 nm for the calculation of choline production (nmol) per microliter of serum per hour (for serum), or choline production (μmol) per milligram of protein per minute (for rmATX).

To prepare blood plasma and lymph fluid for lipidomic analysis samples were transferred to glass vials for Bligh-Dyer lipid extraction using methanol:PBS:chloroform (1:1:2) containing 0.1% formic acid. Ten μl of a mix of internal standards were added to each extraction mixture. The internal standards included known quantities of 13:0 lyso-phosphatidyl choline, 12:0–13:0 phosphatidyl choline, and 12:0–13:0 phosphatidyl inositol, purchased as solutions from Avanti Polar Lipids (Alabaster, AL). After vortexing for 1 minute, the samples were centrifuged at 1500xg for 15 minutes. Using a glass Hamilton syringe, the bottom (chloroform) layer of solvent was removed and transferred to a clean screw-cap glass vial. Lipid extracts were concentrated by drying under a compressed air stream (to reduce lipid oxidation) and then reconstituting in 100 μl of chloroform prior to liquid chromatography and mass spectrophotometry.

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.
