| Description | High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL), as an anti-atherogenic lipoprotein, transports cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver for metabolism, where it is converted into bile acids or directly excreted from the intestine via bile. This process reduces cholesterol deposition on the arterial wall. High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL), as an anti-atherogenic lipoprotein, transports cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver for metabolism, where it is converted into bile acids or directly excreted from the intestine via bile. This process reduces cholesterol deposition on the arterial wall. HDL exerts its anti-atherosclerotic effects through various mechanisms, including promoting reverse cholesterol transport, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, inhibiting thrombus formation, and improving endothelial cell function.Detection Principle: Cholesterol esterase (CHER) and cholesterol oxidase (CHOD) are chemically modified and used in conjunction with dextran sulfate and magnesium ions (or other compounds like sulfated cyclodextrin complexes) to reduce their enzymatic reactivity towards LDL, VLDL, and chylomicrons, making them selectively interact with HDL-cholesterol. Based on this principle, in the first reaction step, LDL, VLDL, and chylomicrons are complexed with reagents like dextran sulfate. In the second reaction step, using the chemically modified CHER and CHOD, HDL-cholesterol is directly measured without the need to separate other lipoproteins. Specifically, the chemically modified CHER catalyzes the hydrolysis of cholesterol esters to generate Free Cholesterol (FC). FC is then oxidized by CHOD to produce 4-cholestenone and hydrogen peroxide. Subsequently, hydrogen peroxide reacts with 4-aminoantipyrine and phenol under the catalysis of peroxidase (POD) to generate a red quinoneimine compound, which has a characteristic absorption peak at 546 nm. The HDL-C content is determined by measuring the absorbance at 546 nm.Component96TStorageReagent 118 mL2-8℃. Store in the dark.Reagent 26 mL2-8℃. Store in the dark.Reagent 31EA2-8℃.

Sample Extraction1.1 Tissue SamplesWeigh approximately 0.1 g of tissue sample and place it in a mortar. Add 1 mL of ethanol and homogenize in an ice bath. Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm, 4°C or room temperature for 10 minutes. Collect the supernatant for assay.Note: If increasing the sample amount, maintain a tissue mass (g) to ethanol volume (mL) ratio between 1:5 and 1:10.1.2 Liquid SamplesAssay clear liquid samples directly. If turbid, centrifuge and use the supernatant for assay.1.3 Serum SamplesFor routine, clear serum samples, add reagents directly according to the assay table and proceed with detection. If the serum sample has a high protein content, adding reagents as per the table may cause turbidity. In this case, first take 200 µL of serum + 200 µL of ethanol, mix well by inverting several times, centrifuge at 8,000 rpm, 4°C or room temperature for 5 minutes, and then collect the supernatant for assay.1.4 Bacterial/Cell SamplesCollect bacteria or cells into a centrifuge tube, centrifuge, and discard the supernatant. Add 1 mL of ethanol per approximately 5 million bacteria/cells. Disrupt the bacteria or cells by sonication in an ice bath (power 200W, pulse 3s on, 10s off, repeat 30 times). Centrifuge at 12,000 rpm, 4°C for 10 minutes. Collect the supernatant and keep it on ice for assay.*Note: If increasing the sample amount, maintain a bacteria/cell count (10⁴) to ethanol volume (mL) ratio between 500:1 and 1000:1.*2.
