Effects of dilution factor, time changes and standard albumin concentration on oxidized albumin%. (a) Dilution test. We diluted serum samples with PBS. The minimal concentration that can be measured by our method is 6.4 mg/ml in serum. (b) Time-dependent oxidation of albumin. Samples were left at room temperature before analysis. The horizontal axis indicates the time that the sample was left at room temperature (0 min, 20 min, 40 min, 60 min, 80 min, 100 min, or 120 min). The vertical axis indicates the percentage of oxidized albumin of each sample. The samples used were from healthy rats. (c) Standard albumin/total albumin% dependence on oxidation of albumin. Standard albumin was added in 8% increments, and oxidized albumin% was increased linearly.
