Serum Biochemical Analysis in Rats

Serum biochemical parameters were analyzed by the following methods. SUN measurements were determined by a colorimetric assay using a urease-indophenol method (Wako Pure Chemicals, Osaka, Japan). IGF-1 and glucose measurements were analyzed with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA; MG100; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) and a colorimetric assay by the mutarotase-glucose oxidase method (Glucose CII-test; Wako), respectively. Insulin and glucagon were measured using ELISA kits (AKAIN-010T; Shibayagi, Gunma, Japan, and Wako, respectively). Cortisol was analyzed by an ELISA kit (KGE008; R&D Systems). AST and ALT were measured by the pyruvate oxidase-N-ethyl-N-(2-hydroxy-3-sulfopro-pyl)-m-toluidine method with a commercial kit (Transaminase CII-test; Wako). To measure renal tissue cAMP content, kidneys were prepared by homogenizing with HCl. Extracted cAMP levels were analyzed by using a cAMP radioimmunoassay kit (Yamasa, Chiba, Japan), and were corrected by protein concentration.
All biochemical parameters were measured according to the manufacturers’ instructions and are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (SD) (n = 6 rats per treatment group).

Liver lipids were extracted by the method described in the work of Folch et al. [18 (link)]. Triacylglycerol (TG), total cholesterol (T-cho), HDL-cholesterol, glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT) in plasma and liver extracts were measured using test kits (Triacylglycerol E-Test, Cholesterol E-Test, HDL-Cholesterol E-Test, and Transaminase CII-Test, Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Osaka, Japan).

Plasma levels of triglyceride (TG), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine transaminase (ALT) were measured using the TG E-test (Wako Chemical, Osaka, Japan) and the transaminase CII-test (Wako Chemical), respectively. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-chol) and low-density (LDL-chol) and very low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (VLDL-chol) were assayed using HDL-C and LDL-C/VLDL-C Quantification Kit (BioVision, Milpitas, CA, USA).

Determination of Hepatic Glutathione Levels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hepatic reduced glutathione (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG) levels were determined using the method of Anderson [14 (link)] and Raman et al. [15 (link)]. Briefly, 1 volume of liver tissue was homogenized in 9 volumes of 5% 5-sulfosalicylic acid, and centrifuged (10,000× g for 5 min at 4 °C). The supernatant was used in the 5,5′-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid)-glutathione reductase recycling assay to determine total glutathione and GSSG concentrations. GSH concentration was calculated from the difference between total glutathione and GSSG. Plasma ALT activity was measured using a commercial kit, Transaminase CII-test (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Tokyo, Japan), according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Evaluating EGCG and Eriodictyol for Myeloma Treatment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Seven-week-old female BALB/c mice were obtained from Kyudo (Tosu, Japan). Mice were inoculated subcutaneously in the interscapular area with 1 × 106 MPC-11 mouse myeloma cells. After the appearance of palpable tumours, mice were divided randomly into four groups with an even distribution of tumour sizes and injected i.p. daily with either saline alone, EGCG (15 mg/kg), eriodictyol (15 mg/kg), or with EGCG plus eriodictyol (both at 15 mg/kg) every 2 days. Tumor growth was measured with callipers, and the tumour volume calculated as (length × width2)/2.
Aminotransferase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) activities were measured using the transaminase CII-test (Wako Pure Chemical Industries Ltd., Osaka, Japan) to assess heptatoxicity. Immunohistochemical staining and analysis were performed as previously described16 (link).

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.
