Roswell Park Memorial Institute 1640 broth medium (RPMI-1640), 3(N-morpholino) propane sulfonic acid (MOPS), 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT), and itraconazole were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MA, USA), and potato dextrose agar (PDA) was purchased from Acumedia (San Bernardino, CA, USA). Tissue-Tek® O.C.T.™ was purchased from Sakura Finetechnical Co. (Tokyo, Japan). Log P (calculated log P) values of the coumarins were assigned using SwissADME http://www.swissadme.ch/ (accessed on 10 March 2023).

Poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL, Mn 80 kDa), chitosan of low molecular weight (50–190 kDa) and 75%–85% deacetylation degree, Mueller-Hinton broth 2, RPMI-MOPS, and MTT bromite of 3-(4,5-dimetiltiazol-2-il)-2, 5-dipheniltet razolium) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (St Louis, MO, USA). Medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) was purchased from Delaware (Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil), α-bisabolol and triclosan were acquired from Fragon (São Paulo, SP, Brazil), isopropanol and acetone were obtained from Vetec (São Paulo, SP, Brazil), and acetonitrile and ethanol HPLC standard were purchased from Tedia (São Paulo, SP, Brazil). Glacial acetic acid, Lipoid S75® (soybean lecithin), and polysorbate 80 were acquired from Fmaia (Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil), Lipoid (Ludwigshafen, RP, Germany), and Henrifarma (São Paulo, SP, Brazil), respectively.

Triglyceride Quantification in Liver Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Triglyceride content was determined as previously described by Folch et al.
(27 (link)). Briefly, 50 mg of liver tissue
was homogenized in 1 mL of isopropanol (Vetec, Brazil) and centrifuged (740
g, 10 min, 4°C). The triglyceride content of the
supernatant was determined with a colorimetric kit following the manufacturer’s
instructions (Bioclin, Brazil). The absorbance was measured at 490–540 nm
(Hidex, Finland).

Chocolate Samples Fatty Acid Analysis

Thirty-two chocolate samples (white, dark, and milk chocolates) from different national and multinational brands produced in Brazil were used to carry out this research. Samples were purchased in local markets. The addition of PHVO is still acceptable in this country, and some products had high trans fats contents declared. All reagents used in the experiments were of analytical grade, and water used in aqueous solutions was purified by deionization (Milli-Q system; Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA). Methanol, potassium hydroxide (KOH) and sodium bisulfate (NaHSO4) were purchased from Panreac Química S.A. (Madrid, Spain). Hexane, isopropanol, and sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) were obtained from Vetec (Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil). Analytical FAME standards (GLC-603, GLC-611, GLC-643, GLC-80, GLC-409) were acquired from Nu-Chek Prep Inc. (Elysian, MN, USA).

Liver Lipid Quantification Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Liver samples (50 mg) were homogenized in 1 mL isopropanol (Vetec, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and centrifuged (2000× g, 10 min, 4 °C). We used n = 10 offspring per sex/group. The total triglyceride and cholesterol levels were measured using a colorimetric method with a commercial kit (Bioclin, Belo Horizonte, Brazil), as previously reported [62 (link)].

Liver Lipid and Glycogen Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Liver samples (50 mg) were homogenised in 1 ml isopropanol (Vetec) and centrifuged (5900 rpm, 10 min, 48C). Total TAG and cholesterol levels were measured by a colorimetric method using a commercial kit (Bioclin) (14) . The glucose produced by glycogen hydrolysis was measured using a commercial kit (Glucox; Doles). Liver was homogenised with 4 ml TCA (10 %). After centrifugation (1000 g, 48C, 10 min), 2 ml of supernatant were added to 5 ml of absolute ethanol and frozen. After 24 h, the mixture was centrifuged (1000 g, 48C, 10 min), and the supernatant was discarded. Glycogen was hydrolysed by boiling the pellet for 30 min with 1 M-HCl. After addition of 1 ml of 1 M-NaOH to neutralise the mixture, glucose was measured in 200 ml of supernatant as described previously (15) .

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.
