Enzymatic Assays for Metabolic Markers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fasting serum glucose concentration was determined by the enzymatic hexokinase method (glucose reagent, AU400 chemistry analyzer, Olympus). Fasting serum insulin concentration was determined by a microparticle enzyme immunoassay (IMx insulin reagent) on an IMx instrument (Abbott). Serum CRP concentration was analyzed using an AU400 chemistry analyzer (Olympus) and a highly sensitive turbidimetric immunoassay kit (CRP-UL-assay, Wako Chemicals, Neuss, Germany). The LOD was 0.02 mg/L. Interassay CVs were 3.33% at the mean level of 1.52 mg/L (n = 116) and 2.65% at the mean level of 2.51 mg/L (n = 168). Analyzed samples for fasting glucose, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, and CRP concentrations were n = 1,951, n = 1,946, n = 1,938, and n = 1,952, respectively, for rs4251961 and n = 1,950, n = 1,945, n = 1,937, and n = 1,951, respectively, for rs6759676.

Screening venous blood samples were analyzed for parasitemia and biochemistry (point-of-care iSTAT analyzer [CG4+, Chem8+], Abbott Laboratories, USA). After enrollment, vital signs, urine output, development of complications, and parasitemia were assessed every 6 hours until discharge or death. For the first 72 hours, serum creatinine was assessed every 12 hours (Olympus AU400 chemistry analyzer, performed in Bangkok), CFH in twice-centrifuged citrated plasma was assessed every 24 hours (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; Bethyl Laboratories, performed in Darwin) [9 (link)], and F2-IsoPs and IsoFs in lithium heparin plasma were assessed every 24 hours (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry at Vanderbilt University) [7 (link), 8 (link)]. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were assessed on enrollment and at 72 hours. To determine the PK–PD of acetaminophen on creatinine, parasitemia, and fever, plasma EDTA samples for acetaminophen concentration were collected prior to each dose plus dense sampling in the treatment arm after both the first (0 hour) and last (72 hour) dose. Patients in the control arm had samples collected every 6 hour for 72 hours to assess unplanned acetaminophen intake. Detailed procedures are provided in the Supplementary Material.

Blood samples were collected via the retroorbital route before sacrificing the mice. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) levels were determined by photometric enzyme activity assays with an Olympus AU400 Chemistry Analyzer using serum as described previously [9 (link), 20 (link)].

On day 90, blood was collected from mice before euthanasia by submandibular puncture into tubes containing 5 µL EDTA 0.5 mol/L. After centrifugation (6000× g, 20 min, 4 °C), plasma was aliquoted and frozen at −80 °C until further analysis. Measurements of plasma AST, ALT, triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), total cholesterol and ferritin were performed on the biochemistry platform (CRI, UMR 1149, Paris) with an Olympus AU400 Chemistry Analyzer. LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol was calculated according to the Friedewald formula:
Measurements of non-fasting plasma insulin and leptin were performed using a mouse-specific insulin and leptin ELISA Kit (Merck Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA).

HDL cholesterol was quantified using a standard colorimetric assay (Thermo DMA Co., San Jose, CA, USA) as previously described [12] (link). Samples were also assayed by the UCLA Clinical Laboratory for total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), non-HDL cholesterol and triglycerides (TG) using the Olympus AU400 Chemistry Analyzer.

Comprehensive Urinalysis and Kidney Function Assessment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Urinalysis performed by CIToxLAB included (1) quantitative measurements by using a Clinitek 500 urine analyzer/reflecto-spectrophotometer (Siemens) and a specific gravity refractometer (×1000), (2) semiquantitative measurements: proteins, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, nitrites, hemoglobin, urobilinogen, cytology of sediment by microscopic evaluation, and (3) qualitative parameters: appearance, color.
To evaluate kidney function at INSERM 1149, 10 µl of fresh urine were mounted on a Malassez slide to count the red blood cells (hematuria). Protein, albumin, and creatinine concentrations were measured in urine using the AU400 chemistry analyzer (Olympus). Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) urinary concentrations were determined by ELISA using the corresponding kits (R&D Systems, Abingdon, UK). NGAL and KIM-1 are 2 biomarkers of early kidney dysfunction.

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.
