Materials and Instruments: All the reagents and solvents are of commercial quality and without further purification. Anhydrous solvent were prepared according to general procedure. Phosphate buffered saline (PBS: 2.97 mM Na2HPO4, 1.05 mM KH2PO4; pH 7.4), 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Advance III 500M spectrometer and referenced to solvent signals. Mass spectra were obtained on Shimadzu LCMS-2020 mass spectrometer. Fluorescence spectra were determined on an Agilent Cary Eclipse spectrophotometer. Absorption spectra were determined on a Hitachi U3010 UV-Visible spectrophotometer. Confocal microscopy images were obtained using confocal microscopy (Leica SP8, Mannheim, Germany). In vivo fluorescence images and photoacoustic images were measured with a Maestro in vivo imaging system (CRI Inc, Woburn, MA) and VisualSonics Vevo® 2100 Imaging System (FUJIFILM VisualSonics Inc.), respectively. Cryostat Section of tissues was performed on Leica CM1900.
Clinical human tissue specimen: The clinical samples of peritoneal, rectal and gastric cancer patients were obtained from Hangzhou First People's Hospital (Hangzhou, China). Written informed consents from patients and approval from the Institutional Research Ethics Committee of the hospital were obtained before the use of these clinical materials for research purposes.

Nox2 Deficiency and Angiotensin II-Induced Cardiovascular Responses

All studies were performed in 6- to 8-week-old male mice on a C57BL/6J background. Globally Nox2-deficient mice (Nox2–/y) were originally acquired from The Jackson Laboratory. Nox2fl/flCD4Cre+ mice were generated by crossing of CD4-Cre males (provided by R. Noelle, King’s College London) with Nox2fl/fl females (6 (link)). Gene-modified mice were compared with matched WT littermates.
Ang II (1.1 mg/kg/d) was infused via subcutaneous osmotic minipumps (model 1002, Alzet) implanted under 2% isoflurane anesthesia. Blood pressure was determined by the tail cuff method (MK-2000ST, Muromachi Kikai). Echocardiography was performed in mice under 1.5% isoflurane anesthesia using a VisualSonics Vevo 2100 imaging system (FUJIFILM) (5 (link)). Renal function was assessed in response to an acute i.p. saline challenge in a metabolic cage (6 (link)). Metabolites were analyzed on an Advia 2400 Chemistry System (Siemens AG).

Echocardiographic Assessment of Cardiac Function

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Echocardiography was performed to evaluate cardiac structure and systolic and diastolic functions using a Visual Sonics Vevo 2100 Imaging System (FUJIFILM VisualSonics Inc., Toronto, ON, Canada) with a 21-MHz MicroScan transducer (MS-250). Rats were anesthetized with 2-3% isoflurane in air, and heart rate and breathing were monitored. Cardiac function was evaluated in parasternal long axis and apical four-chamber view using M-Mode, color Doppler Mode and tissue Doppler Mode. Ultrasound data were analyzed using VisualSonics software (Vevo Lab; FUJIFILM VisualSonics Inc.). Tei index (myocardial performance index), which reflects global systolic and diastolic ventricular function, is defined as the sum of isovolumic contraction time and isovolumic relaxation time divided by the ejection time. 28

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.
