Urine was collected from each individual rat in metabolic cages for 16 h. The parameters total protein, glucose, ketone, leukocyte number, erythrocyte number, bilirubin, urobilinogen, nitrate, and pH were analyzed with Combur10Test® UX test strips (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany) and semi-quantitatively evaluated by reflectance photometry with a Urilux S analyzer (Roche Diagnostics). Osmolarity was measured with the Advanced® Model 3300 micro-osmometer from Advanced Instruments (Norwood, MA, USA).
Advanced model 3300 micro osmometer
The Advanced® Model 3300 micro-osmometer is a laboratory instrument designed to measure the osmolality of small sample volumes. It utilizes the freezing point depression method to determine the osmolality of biological and non-biological fluids.

Biomarkers of Kidney, Inflammation, and Muscle Damage in Athletes
Fasting blood samples (3 × 10 ml) were obtained from the antecubital vein in EDTA vacutainers at 24 h pre-race, immediately post-race, and at 48 h post-race. The blood samples were centrifuged at 3,000 rpm at 4°C for 10 min in a bench-top centrifuge. The supernatant serum was aliquoted and stored on dry ice until all samples were frozen at −80°C in sealed Eppendorf tubes to avoid evaporation. Serum urea, creatinine, CRP, CK, and Na+ were determined using an AU-5800 Chemistry Analyzer (Beckman Coulter Inc., CA, United States). Serum osmolality was determined with an Advanced Micro-Osmometer, Model 3300 (Advanced Instruments Inc., MA, United States) using freezing point depression. Urine tests were measured with AUTION MAX AX-4030 (ARKRAY Inc., MN, United States) analyzer with Uriflet S 9UB strips.
Osmolality Measurement of Lyophilized Formulations
Following conditions were analyzed:
Reference: 0.5 M NaOAc pH 5 buffer
Basic condition: 0.5 M NaOAc pH 5 buffer + excipients lyophilization
Intermediate condition: 0.5 M NaOAc/10% Ethanol pH 5 buffer + excipients lyophilization
Final condition: 0.5 M NaOAc/10% Ethanol pH 5 buffer + excipients lyophilization + 5 mg VitC
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.
