General description
Glycerol, also referred to as glycerin or glycerine, is a 3-carbon sugar alcohol that forms the backbone of fatty acids. It is also a component of phospholipids and triglycerides. Glycerol is a sweet-tasting, hygroscopic liquid. Glycerol is widely used in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical formulations and is the main waste by-product of biodiesel production via transesterification.
Application
Glycerol assay kit has been used to quantify glycerol release from mouse 3T3-L1 cell culture supernatant samples and to measure plasma glycerol levels.
Features and Benefits
Compatible with high-throughput handling systems.
Suitability
This kit is suitable for glycerol detection in foods, beverages, pharmaceutical formulations, and biological samples.
Principle
In this kit, glycerol concentration is determined by a coupled enzyme assay involving glycerol kinase and glycerol phosphate oxidase, resulting in a colorimetric (570 nm)/fluorometric (lex = 535/lem = 587 nm) product, proportional to the glycerol present. The linear range of detection for this kit is 10-1,000 μM (colorimetric) and 2-50 μM (fluorometric).

Chronic glucocorticoid therapy causes insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia, abnormal fat accumulation, loss of muscle mass and osteoporosis. Here we describe a hitherto unknown sexual dimorphism in the metabolic response to chronic glucocorticoid exposure in mice. This led us to investigate whether

Background: Impaired capillary growth (angiogenesis) in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue contributes to the development of metabolic disorders in obese males. This association remains unexplored in females, despite mounting evidence that endothelial cells have sex-specific transcriptional profiles. Therefore, herein we
