ANNEXURE V PROCEDURE FOR BIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS DETERMINATION OF BLOOD HAEMOGLOBIN (Cyanmeth haemoglobin method) (Raghuramulu et al., 2003) PRINCIPLE In solution the ferrous ions (Fe2+) of the hemoglobins (Hb) are oxidized to the ferric state (Fe3+) by potassium ferric cyanide to form methemoglobin. In turn, methemoglobin reacts with the cyanide ions (CN-) provided by potassium cyanide to form cyanmethemoglobin, which has the absorbance at 540nm. REAGENTS a. Cyanmethemoglobin solution (Drabkin’s solution) : Dissolve 0.05g potassium cyanide, 0.200g potassium ferric cyanide and 0,140g dihydrogen potassium phosphate in 1L of distilled water . Add 1ml of Triton X-100 and mix. Stable for atleat six months. b. Haemoglobin standard : Lyophilized human methemoglobin (supplied by Sigma USA). Each vial is equivalent to haemoglobin concentration of 18g/dl whole blood when reconstituted in 50ml of Drabkin’s solution. Stable for six months when refrigerated at 2-6 C. PROCEDURE Transfer 0.02ml of blood using a calibrated haemoglobin pipette, into a tube containing 0.5ml of Drabkin’s reagent. Rinse the pipette several times with the reagent. Allow diluted heamoglobin solution to stand for atleast five minutes to achieve full colour development. Measure the absorbance at 530550nm of the unknown sample (Aunk) and that of a standard of known heamoglobin content (Astd) against a reagent blank. CALCULATION Haemoglobin unknown (g/dl)= Aunk x Con. of Hb S tan dard (g / dl) Astd ANNEXURE VI DETERMINATION OF SERUM TOTAL PROTEIN (BIURET METHOD) (Raghuramulu et al., 2003) PRINCIPLE Protein forms a purple colour complex with copper ions in alkaline solution. The biuret reaction takes its name from compound, which react in the same way. The purple color developed is read colorimetrically at 500 m . REAGENTS 1. Sodium chloride diluent – Dissolved 9g of sodium chloride in one litre of water. 2. Stock biuret reagent – Dissolved 45g of potassium sodium titrate (Rochelle’s salt) in 400ml of 0.2N sodium hydroxide. Added 15g of cupric sulphate. Stirred until it is dissolves. Added five grams of potassium iodide and diluted it to one litre with 0.2N sodium hydroxide. 3. 0.2N sodium hydroxide : 50g of sodium hydroxide dissolved in 1000ml of water. 4. Dilute biuret reagent - .Diluted 250ml of stock biuret and reagent to one litre with 0.2N sodium hydroxide and added four grams of potassium iodide. 5. Standard protein solution – Weighed 400mg of albumin and dissolved in 0.9 per cent saline solution. Made up the volume to 100ml with saline. 6. 22.5 per cent sodium sulphate. PROCEDURE Into a series of test tubes 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5ml of standard protein solution was pipetted out and then the volume was made upto 3ml with distilled water. Into another test tube, pipetted out 0.2ml of serum and diluted to 0.9 per cent saline upto five ml. From this, 2ml of the solution was taken, made upto 3ml with distilled water and treated as unknown. Now added 3ml dilute biuret reagent to all the test tubes. Along with this a blank was prepared. The colour developed was read colorimetrically at 500nm after 30 minutes. The amount of protein in the serum was calculated. This gives the value of total protein. PRECIPITATION OF GLOBULIN Mixing 0.21ml of serum with 4.8ml of 22.5 per cent sodium sulphate solution precipitates globulin. Stoppered the tube, inverted several times and kept in the incubator at 40 C overnight. Filtered the solution the next day using Whatman No. 42 filter paper. Took 2ml of the filtrate and carried out the experiment as for total protein. The concentration in gram per cent of albumin present in the globulin free filtrate is determined from the standard graph. Globulin value can be obtained by deducting albumin value from total protein. CALCULATION Total protein g/1000ml = Amount of globulin O.D of test x concentration of standard O.D of s tan dard = Total protein - Serum albumin ANNEXURE VII DETERMINATION OF VITAMIN A (RETINOL) (HPLC METHOD) (Raghuramulu et al., 2003) PRINIPLE The vitamin A is extracted with a suitable organic solvent and an aliquot of the organic phase is injected onto a normal or reversed phase HPLC column, followed by an eluting solvent of suitable polarity. Retinol, which is eluted as a sharp peak within 1-6 min is detected by a sensitive UV detector set at 325328nm. Retinol is quantitated by use of peak height rations or peak area ratios relative to an internal standard (retinyl acetate or other appropriate analogues). REAGENTS Solvents of HPLC graph must be degassed and be free of particles. Standards : A stock standard solution of retinyl acetate in ethanol (50 g retinol/ml) is prepared by dissolving about one mg of retinyl acetate in 10ml of ethanol, determining the concentration in a 1/30 dilution of an aliquot in % ethanol by use of the E11cm at 325nm as 1795 and then diluting the stock standard appropriately with ethanol. Then 10ml of this solution is diluted to 19.4ml to yield the stock standard with 50 g retinol/ml. PROCEDURE 1. Normal phase Transfer 100 l of serum (or plasma), 15 l of internal standard solution (4 g/ml of retinyl acetate or propionate) and 100 l of methanol to a conical centrifuge tube. Mix the contents of the tube with a vortex mixer. Add 200 l of extraction solution (petroleum ether 80, dichloromethane 19.3, isoporpanol 0.7 by volume) and cap the tube. Extract by interrupted mixing on the vertex mixer for 60s. After centrifugation (3000 rpm, 2 min) inject 100 l of the supernatant into the column by the use of a Hamilton syringe. Elute with the same solvent as used for extraction. 2. Chromatographic conditions Procedure 1 Column 15 x 0.2c i..

The internal standard should have physical and chemical properties sufficiently similar to retinol, is suitably separated from retinol on HPLC, should not coincide with other 325nm absorbing materials in serum and is not converted to retinol under the assay conditions. A precisely known amount of the internal standard is added to the aliquot of plasma to be analyzed. By determining the relative extraction efficiency and detector response of retinol and the internal standard, a standard curve is fashioned in which the ratio of peak heights (or areas) is plotted against the retinol concentration in plasma. In experimental samples, the peak height (or area) ratio is determined and the appropriate plasma retinol concentration determined from the standard curve. A standard curve is prepared by adding varying amounts of retinol (i.e., 10-120ng) to a fixed amount (i.e. 50ng) of internal standard in a final volume of 100 l of eluting solvent, injecting the solution of HPLC under assay conditions, measuring the peak heights and calculating the peak height ratio. The peak height ratio is then plotted as the abscissa with the standard retinol concentration (for a 100 l plasma aliquot) as the ordinate.
