The NMR spectra (¹H and ¹³C) of the synthesized organic compounds were performed using a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (Varian 400 MHz). The emission spectra and the linked spectroscopic measurements were performed by a PerkinElmer LS 55 spectrofluorometer. The SEM images, FT-IR spectra and elemental analysis were performed with a HITACHI (SU5000), a Bruker Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR) and a Leco CHNS 932, respectively. The remaining lead ions in the suspension were determined by Analytic Jena, Contr AA 300 spectrophotometer using the atomic absorption values.
For the ordering of the used chemicals, various companies were preferred. The silica gel (70–230 mesh) used as both purification (column chromatography) and adsorbent materials was purchased from Fluka (Switzerland).

FA profiles were determined by using gas chromatography (7890A, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, United States). Lipids from liver tissues (Experiment 2) were extracted with chloroform and methanol (2:1, vol/vol), and the separated lipid fraction was converted to FA methyl esters (FAMEs) by saponification using 0.5 M KOH-methanol, followed by methylation with 200 μl boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (B104430, Sigma-Aldrich). Next, the FAMEs were mixed with N-hexane and saturated sodium chloride solution, and the mixture was shaken for 10 min and centrifuged at 1,200 × g for 10 min. The upper phase was collected and dried with sodium sulfate for gas chromatographic analysis. The FAMEs were identified by comparing retention times to FAME standards (CRM47885, Sigma-Aldrich). The results of FA composition were reported as the percentage of total FA.

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.
