Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The mice were anesthetised, sacrificed and dissected after 8 weeks of feeding with the experimental diets. Liver blocks were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80 °C to minimise degradation. Tissues were sliced into 10-μm-thick sections using a cryostat, and thaw-mounted on indium-tin oxide glass sample plates (HST Inc., Newark, NJ, USA). The DHB matrix was dissolved in methanol (Kanto Chemical. Co. Inc., Tokyo Japan) to a concentration of 30 mg/mL and a total of 2 mL was manually sprayed using a Prokon Boy WA double action platinum airbrush (0.2 mm injection nozzle) onto tissue sections. A MALDI-SpiralTOF instrument was equipped with a 349-nm Nd:YLF laser for MALDI and the laser repetition rate was 250 Hz for IMS. Mass spectra were acquired for IMS in 2.0 × 2.0-mm regions and divided into 0.04-mm squares per pixel. The mass range of m/z 500–1000 was measured over a period of 4.5 h. Raw data from the JMS-S3000 were converted to the imzML format and analysed using Biomap 3.8.0.4 software (http://www.maldi-msi.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=14&Itemid=32, Dornach, Switzerland).

Mouse AFP in the P0 mouse serum and bovine AFP levels in FBS used in this study were measured in duplicate using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits (R&D Systems, for mouse; Cloud-Clone, for cow) according to the manufacturer's instructions. For E2 measurement in FBS, ethyl acetate was added to FBS or standard E2 (Kanto Chemical) solution dissolved in methanol (Kanto Chemical), and then mixed and centrifuged at 16,000 g for 3 min at 4°C. This step was repeated three times. These supernatants containing E2 were combined and dried under a nitrogen stream. The solid was reconstituted in ethanol (Kanto Chemical) and subjected to liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (Nexera UHPLC; API 4000, AB SCIEX).

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.
