I used the HDL and LDL/VLDL Cholesterol Assay Kit (Fluorometric) in order to measure total and free cholesterol in zebrafish liver. Overall the assay was successful. I did have some samples outside of the standard curve range meaning I will need to dilute my samples next time I run the assay. I divided all of my standard and sample fluorescence values by a factor of 10,000 prior to developing my standard curve. Attached is an image of my standard curve. From my standard curve I calculated the concentration of cholesterol that I then applied to the cholesterol concentration equation provided in the protocol. Some example data from my control sample is shown below.
Total Cholesterol: 57.7 ug/uL
Total HDL: 60.9 ug/uL
Total LDL/VLDL: 8.14 ug/uL
Free Cholesterol: 53.7 ug/uL
Free HDL :57.3 ug/uL
Free LDL/VLDL: 6.57 ug/uL
Cholesterol Esters: 3.99 ug/uL
