Mouse blood samples collected from heart puncture at sacrifice or from the tail vein were clotted and centrifuged to collect serum. Serum creatinine concentration was measured by the picric acid method with a commercial kit (DICT-500, BioAssay Systems), following the manufacturer’s instructions. BUN was measured with a commercial kit (DIUR-500, BioAssay Systems) following the manufacturer’s instructions.

After running the experiments, all media were collected and stored at −80°C. The urea concentration was measured using the urea assay kit (DIUR-500; Bioassay Systems LLC, Hayward, CA, USA). The albumin concentration was assayed with the human albumin ELISA quantitation set (E80-129; Bethyl Laboratories, Montgomery, TX, USA). All results were analyzed with CurveExpert 1.3 software and fitted with logistic model with r2>0.99.

Evaluating Mouse Liver and Kidney Function

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mouse liver functions were assessed by measuring serum alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase (EALT-100 and EASTR-100, respectively, EnzyChrom, BioAssay Systems) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Mouse kidney functions were assessed by measuring serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels (DICT-500 and DIUR-500, respectively, Quantichrome, BioAssay Systems) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Samples with insufficient volumes were diluted with assay buffer provided from the manufacturer. All assays were run with biological replicates in technical triplicates normalized to control levels.

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.
