Catalase Activity Determination in Seminal Plasma

After thawing, the seminal plasma was centrifuged at 4,000g for 15 min at 4°C. To determine the catalase (CAT) activity, a microassay procedure was used [24 (link)].
This method, which employs 20 μL, is based on the reaction of CAT with methanol in the presence of an optimal concentration of hydrogen peroxide. The formaldehyde production was measured spectrophotometrically at 540 nm with 4-amino-3-hydrazino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole (Purpald, Sigma-Aldrich, Milan, Italy) as a chromogen. One unit of catalase activity was defined as the amount of enzyme that caused the formation of 1 nmol of formaldehyde per min at 25°C. Each sample was determined in triplicate, and the results were expressed as nmol/min/mg of protein.

Catalase activity was determined according to the method described [17 (link)]. Standard concentrations of 5, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 μM were prepared in sample buffer (250 mM potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.5 containing 0.1% bovine serum albumin, and 1 mM ethylenediamine-tetra acetic acid [EDTA]) using a formaldehyde standard (99.9%, VWR Prolabo®, France). A 0.5095 mg/mL bovine liver CAT (Sigma-Aldrich) was used as a positive control. aliquots of 0.1 mL of assay buffer (100 mM potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.0) and 0.02 mL of each serum, standard, and positive control were mixed with 0.03 mL of methanol in designated reaction wells in a microplate to perform the assay. The reaction was initiated by adding 0.02 mL of 40 mM hydrogen peroxide and incubating it on an orbital shaker (VRN-360, Gemmy, Taiwan) at 1× g for 20 min at room temperature (25°C). A total of 0.03 mL each of 0.01 mM potassium hydroxide and 63 mM of 4-amino-3-hydrazino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole (Sigma-Aldrich) was added to each reaction well and incubated for 10 min. A solution of 0.01 mL of potassium periodate (20 mM) was added to all reaction wells and incubated on an orbital shaker at 1× g for 5 min. The microplate was transferred to a spectrophotometer (Multiskan Sky, Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) for ABSR.

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.
