doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2018.02173

Figure Lengend Snippet: Development of nephrocalcinosis and CKD under hyperoxaluric conditions is strain and sex dependent. Male and female BALB/c, C57BL/6N, and CD-1 mice (8 weeks of age) were fed with control or oxalate chow for 3 weeks ( n = 5). (A) Quantification of calcium oxalate crystal deposition was conducted using Pizzolato's method on formalin fixed kidney sections as shown in (B) . (C) Quantification of tubular injury was conducted using PAS-stained formalin fixed kidney sections as shown in (D) . (E) Quantification of Collagen I deposition was conducted using Collagen I-stained formalin fixed kidney sections as shown in (F) . (G) Plasma creatinine, (H) blood urea nitrogen, and (I) plasma phosphorus were analyzed Cobas Integra 800 autoanalyzer. n.s., not significant; * p

Article Snippet: Plasma BUN, creatinine and phosphorus levels were measured using a Cobas Integra 800 autoanalyzer (Roche, Mannheim, Germany).

Article Title: Sodium Ascorbate induces apoptosis in neuroblastoma cell lines by interfering with iron uptake

doi: 10.1186/1476-4598-6-55

Figure Lengend Snippet: Reduction of intracellular iron levels by sodium ascorbate . 30 × 10 6 of either HTLA-230 or SH-SY5Y were treated with the indicated doses of sodium ascorbate for 24 hours and iron levels were measured in cell lysates. After terminating the incubation, cells were collected by scraping and washed three times with PBS and then lysed in specific buffer. Iron levels were analyzed with a Cobas Integra 800 system as described under "Material and Method". Values indicated are the mean ± S.D. of three separate experiments.

Article Snippet: Iron concentration in cell lysates was performed with a Cobas Integra 800 system (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) as routinarily assessed on plasma or serum samples by an Iron Test (Roche Diagnostics); iron concentration was estimated by absorbance at 552 nm.
