Nitro Blue Tetrazolium (NBT) Staining as an Assessment of Thermal Penetration

Technique for the performance of the nitro-blue tetrazolium (NBT) test.

Comparative study of nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction method for estimation of glycated haemoglobin with glycated HbA1c estimated on DCA2000+analyzer (immunoagglutination inhibition).

Glycated haemoglobin is a diagnostic tool, used for the monitoring of the glycemic status among diabetic patients. The present study is designed to compare and correlate modified NBT reduction method for the estimation of Glycated protein (Glycated Haemoglobin) with HbA1C estimated on DCA+2000Analyzer. Glycated protein reduces Nitro Blue Tetrazolium (NBT) reagent in alkaline medium to tetrazino...

Endotoxin induces a second window of protection in the rat heart as determined by using p-nitro-blue tetrazolium staining, cardiac troponin T release, and histology.

Pretreatment of rats with small doses of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), eg, for 24 hours, attenuates the cardiac dysfunction caused by subsequent period of myocardial ischemia. This phenomenon of enhanced tolerance to an ischemic insult has been termed "second window of protection." Although the cardioprotective effects of LPS were first reported in 1989, it is still unclear whether the observed att...

Chronic Granulomatous Disease and the Nttroblue Tetrazolium (nbt) Test

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a congenital disorder characterized by severe and recurrent infections, including pneumonia and deep tissue abscesses, leading to early death from sepsis. (Curnutte and Babior 1987). Two forms of inheritance have been noted. Most cases (80-90%) show X-linked transmission, with the remaining cases being autosomal recessive. Both forms have in common a defic...

Actions of adenosine on nitro blue tetrazolium deposition and surface pH during intestinal reperfusion injury.

Mesenteric arteries supplying an intestinal segment were occluded for 5 minutes and then released. During reperfusion, two series of measurements were made with various substances topically applied to the extraluminal surface. In the first series, reduced nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) was extracted from tissue and measured spectrophotometrically, as an index of oxidative damage. In the second se...
