What color tube is used for lipid panel? Red-top tube, gel-barrier tube, or green-top (lithium heparin) tube. Do not use oxalate, EDTA, or citrate plasma. What does CBC Without differential mean? A CBC measures, counts, evaluates and studies many aspects of your blood: CBC without diff...
An aperture plate 11 having a central aperture and can be freely moved on a plane determined by the X and the Y axes, is installed between the optical source 1 and a panel 6. The movable aperture plate 11 is moved in X direction by the operation of a worm gear 12 and a motor 14....
Theobroma cacao L. cultivar Matina 1-6 belongs to the most cultivated cacao type. The availability of its genome sequence and methods for identifying genes responsible for important cacao traits will aid cacao researchers and breeders. We describe the se
Many of the LRR-RLK genes, flavonoid biosynthetic pathway genes, lipid biosynthesis genes, and terpenoid synthesis genes identified in T. cacao by Argout et al. [11] are outside ORs (see Additional file 1, Table S19; for the specific gene models involved in this analysis, see Additional fi...
The tissue specimens were subjected to processing in a vacuum freeze-drying unit for 48 h and subsequently ground into a powder using a tissue grinder. To extract the carotenoids, 1.00 g of the powdered specimens was accurately weighed and placed in a 50 mL centrifuge tube. Then, 20 mL of...
in distilled water. The procedure was based on that described by [29]; with modifications, 140 μL of the sample was mixed with 1.4 mL of DPPH solution in an Eppendorf tube, with three replicates for each sample. Subsequently, they were left on an orbital shaker at 25 °C for 1 h. ...
(Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) in chloroform as internal standard were mixed thoroughly with approximately 50.0 ± 0.1 mg of egg yolk in a test tube before extracting lipids according to Dole [35]. Extraction began by adding 950 µL of lipid extraction solvent (chloroform-methanol 2:1 (v...
