Triglyceride (TG) Assay Kit is an assay kit for detection and quantification of Triglyceride concentrations in serum, plasma and tissue homogenates using a spectrophotometer (510 nm). Triglycerides (TG) can be hydrolyzed by lipoprotein lipase into glycerol and free fatty acids. Glycerol produces glycerol-3-phosphate and ADP under the catalysis of glycerol kinase (GK). Glycerol-3-phosphate produces hydrogen peroxide under the action of glycerol phosphate oxidase (GPO). In the presence of 4-aminoantipyrine and phenol, hydrogen peroxide is catalyzed by peroxidase (POD) to produce quinones which is proportional to the triglyceride content. The absorbance values of the standard tube and the sample tube are measured respectively, and the triglyceride content in the sample can be calculated.
