We previously pharmacologically identified a small metabolite that regulates energy expenditure in mice. In this study, we want to explore if genetic manipulation of this metabolite via gene knockout of the synthase in mice results in metabolic dysfunctions. Branched-chain amino acids have recently been recognized as important indicators of metabolic health. We, therefore, use this kit to measure BCAA levels in mouse serum. This kit gives nice standard curves and absolute quantifications of circulating BCAA.
Serum BCAA measurement
N/A
Keep in -20°C.
Though we didn't see any change of circulating BACC in the knockout animals compared to wild type animals, this kit gave consistent quantifications of serum BCAA in mice.
Consistent quality.
A little expensive.
This kit gives nice standard curves and absolute quantifications of circulating BCAA.
