Rat insulin elisa kit

Manufactured by BioVendor
Sourced in Czechia

The Rat Insulin ELISA Kit is a quantitative sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) designed for the measurement of insulin levels in rat samples. The kit uses a specific antibody coated on the plate to capture insulin from the sample, and a second antibody conjugated to a detection enzyme to quantify the amount of insulin present.

Fasting serum glucose (mg/dl) was determined colorimetrically using a test reagent kit (Biolabo SA, France)

Determination of serum insulin (μIU/ml) was performed using rat insulin ELISA kit (Biovendor, Czech Republic)

HOMA-IR score was used as an index of IR as described by Matthews et al.[7 (link)] using the following formula:

HOMA-IR score = serum glucose (mmol/l) × serum insulin (μIU/ml)/22.5

TNF-α level (pg/ml) was determined using a test reagent kit (ID labs, Canada)

Serum total cholesterol and TG were estimated using test reagent kits (Spinreact, Spain) and expressed as mg/dl

Uric acid, urea and creatinine levels were determined using test reagent kits (Biodiagnostics, Egypt) and expressed as mg/dl

Blood GSH, serum MDA, and liver nitric oxide (total nitrates and nitrites, NOx) were determined according to the methods described previously.[8 (link)9 (link)10 (link)]

Metabolic Biomarker Quantification Protocol

Serum fasting glucose assayed by glucose oxidase technique using (Glucose-LQ kit, Spinreact) (El-Gayar et al., 2012 ). Insulin in serum was assayed via rat insulin ELISA kit (Biovendor Laboratory Medicine, Brno, Czech Republic), according to the manufacturer’s procedures. Homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) is calculated via this equation: HOMA-IR = fasting blood glucose (mg/dl) × fasting insulin (ng/ml)/405 (Roza et al. , 2016 (link)). Total cholesterol (TC) was assessed by the CHOD-PAP-enzymatic colorimetric method (Penttilä et al., 1981), and triglycerides (TG) by the GPO-PAP-enzymatic colorimetric method (Bucolo and David, 1973 (link)). Serum HDL-c and LDL-c were assessed by direct enzymatic colorimetric liquid method (Friedman and Young, 1989 ), and the lipid parameters were measured using commercially accessible kits (Spinreact, Spain). Serum testosterone was assessed by Rat Testosterone ELISA, Kit Cat.No.SE120089 (Sigma Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA). Serum FSH and LH were assessed by Rat FSH ELISA Kit Cat. No. CSB-E06869r, and Rat LH ELISA Kit Cat.No.CSB-E12654r respectively, from CUSABIO.

Plasma Metabolite Profiling in Preclinical Studies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The following plasma metabolites were measured: basal glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), urea, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase (ALKP), and the hepatic enzymes alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (γGT). These metabolites were analyzed using commercial kits according to the manufacturer’s instructions and a Hitachi 737 Automatic Analyzer (Hitachi Ltd, Tokyo, Japan). Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) was estimated following the Friedewald equations [46 (link)] and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) was determined by the modification of Friedewal equation proposed by Ahmadi et al. [47 (link)]: (VLDL = TG/5); LDL = [(TChol/1.19)+(TG/1.9)- (HDL/1.1)-38]. The leptin levels in plasma were measured using a commercial rat insulin ELISA kit (Cat. no. RD291001200R; BioVendor, Brno, Czech Republic).

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.
