After LP, LS, or LC treatment, mice were anesthetized with isoflurane, blood was collected by cardiac puncture, the heart and vasculature were carefully perfused with ice-cold PBS containing heparin (10 U/ml) and brain tissue was removed for lithium determination using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Blood was centrifuged at 1,600 × g at room temperature for 10 min and 100 μl plasma was diluted 10 fold in 10% isopropyl alcohol containing 5% trichloroacetic acid (IPA), vortexed, and incubated for 10 min to precipitate proteins. Supernatants were clarified at 3000 × g for 30 min prior to measuring lithium content (AA-6200, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan at the Interdisciplinary Research Facility at USF). Each brain was divided coronally, the front half was rinsed with PBS, weighed, suspended in an equal volume of concentrated HNO3, heated for 1 h at 100 °C, cooled to room temperature, centrifuged at 3000 × g for 1 h, and the supernatant was diluted 10 fold in 10% isopropyl alcohol prior to measuring lithium content using AAS (Shimadzu AA-6200). Peak absorbance were determined referring to values obtained for standards 1% HNO3 lithium solution (HIGH-PURITY STANDARDS, Charleston, SC, USA).

The blood samples (10 mL) of all the cows were collected via the jugular vein into the evacuated tubes (MediPlus, Sunphoria Co., Ltd, China), without any anticoagulant, on d 23 and 6 before the calving date, and d 1, 21 and 50 after calving, 3 h after morning feeding. Moreover, blood samples of all calves were collected on d 3 after the birth. After centrifugation (1,500 × g; 15 min) of the blood samples, the obtained serum was stored at −20 °C.
The immunoglobulin A (IgA) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) ELISA Kits (supplied by PT Co., Tehran, Iran) were used for spectrophotometrically determinations of the IgA and IgM concentrations at a wavelength of 450 nm. The spectrophotometric assays were used to measure the blood serum Zn and Cu using analytical kits of Biorexfars Co. (Shiraz, Iran). The Mn concentration was determined by an atomic absorption spectrometer (AA-6200, Shimadzu, Japan).

All solvents
used for the synthesis of the ligand and catalytic reaction (THF,
toluene, CH2Cl2, and MeCN) were purified over
a Glass Contour Solvent Dispending System under an Ar atmosphere.
Other reagents of the highest grade that were commercially available
were used without further purification. Atomic absorption analysis
was performed on a Shimadzu AA-6200. Elemental analysis was performed
on a Perkin-Elmer CHNS/O Analyzer 2400II. GC analysis was performed
on a Shimadzu GC2010 gas chromatograph with an Rtx-5 column (Restek,
length = 30 m, i.d. = 0.25 mm, and thickness = 0.25 μm). IR
spectra were recorded on a JASCO FT/IR 4200 spectrometer. NMR spectra
were recorded on a JEOL ECA-600 spectrometer. UV–vis spectra
of solution samples were recorded on a JASCO V650 spectrometer, and
solid reflectance spectra were recorded on the same instrument with
a PIN-757 integrating sphere attachment for solid. Nitrogen sorption
studies were performed at liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K) using
Micromeritics TriStar 3000. Before the adsorption experiments, the
samples were outgassed under reduced pressure for 3 h at 333 K.

Mineral constituents (Ca, K, Na, Mg, P, Zn, and Fe) were determined using an atomic absorption flame emission spectrophotometer (Perkin-Elmer model AA-6200 from Shimadzu 7000, Tokyo, Japan). In addition, 1000 mg L−1 multielement certified standard solution (Merck, Germany) was used as a stock solution for instrument standardization as reported by AOAC [40 ].

Synthesis and Characterization of Selenium Nanoparticles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The SeNPs were produced by irradiating Se pellets using the nanosecond laser pumped by a 20 Hz Q-switched Nd:YAG laser powered at 20 mJ. The determination of the concentration of the solution was performed using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AA-6200; Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) with an Se lamp (L2433-34NQ; Hamamatsu, Boston, MA, USA). Hydrodynamic size and zeta potential (ZP) of SeNPs were characterized using the dynamic light scattering (DLS) system (Zetasizer Nano ZS; Malvern Instruments, Malvern, UK) at 25°C. The high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) (JOEL 2010F) and atomic resolution microscope (ARM, JOEL ARM 200F) were used to acquire images of the SeNPs to determine the size and shape of the nanoparticles using the Cs probe at a voltage of 200 kV with a spatial resolution of 0.75 Å. The specially resolved elemental analysis was performed by X-ray emission spectroscopy attachment to the HRTEM.

Heavy Metal and Nitric Oxide Analysis

To determine the heavy metal (Pb and Cd) concentrations of shoots, stems, and roots, samples (0.5 g) were dissolved in 2 mL of H2O2 (30%) and 2 mL of HNO3 (67%). Then, the obtained solution was added to 10% KI, 10% HCl, and 5% ascorbic acid. To analyze Pb and Cd accumulation, the solution was transferred to an atomic absorption spectrometer (HG-AAS) (Shimadzu AA-6200) using optimal standards [33 (link)]. Nitric oxide concentrations were obtained by analyzing the conversion of oxygen-hemoglobin to methemoglobin. For this purpose, shoot, stem, and root samples (0.5 g) were dissolved in 3 mL of buffer (pH 6.0) with the addition of 0.1 M sodium acetate mixed with 1 M NaCl and 1% (w/v) ascorbic acid. Then, it was centrifuged for 30 min at 8000× g at 4 °C [34 (link),35 (link)].

hemicelluloses, and lignin were determined according to the analytical model

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.
