2 mg of dry extract was dissolved in
acetic anhydride, heated to boiling,
cooled and then 1 ml of concentrated
sulphuric acid was added along the
sides of the test tube.

A
  1. LIEBERMANN-BURCHARD’S TEST:

chloroform, to the chloroform layer
sulphuric acid was added slowly by
the sides of test tube

colored reaction and that will be detected by your
device, usually a spectrophotometer

A

B. ENZYMATIC METHODS

35
Q

color of enzymatic method and read at _______

A

red color = read at 500 nm

36
Q

give me the characteristics of enzymatic method

A

  • no preliminary extraction
    step
  • rapid
  • precise
37
Q

Cholesterol oxidase (Equation 17-2) can react
with sterols other than cholesterol that are
present in plasma such as plant sterols, which are
present in appreciable concentrations in the
circulation of patients with β-sitosterolemia

A
  • Plant sterol
38
Q

Known for its properties as a reducing agent.
These properties allow it to compete with the
chromogenic substrates of equation 17-3 for
hydrogen peroxide.Therefore, plasma/serum samples with elevated
levels of ascorbic acid can result in lower
measured levels of TC.

A

Ascorbic acid

39
Q

Can interfere with TC measurements because of
its own spectral properties; bilirubin absorbs
light at 500 nm (Rifai et al, 2000). This tends to
increase measured cholesterol values

A

Bilirubin

40
Q

However, _________ is also oxidized by ________, and
as a result loses its absorbance at 500 nm. This
complicates the application of a serum blank to
correct for _________ absorbance

Hydrogen peroxide by peroxidase will form _____________

A

quinoneimine dye complex

57
Q
