Animals were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (50 mg/kg, i.p.) at different time points. The L4/6 DRG was immediately removed and homogenized on ice in 15 mmol/l Tris containing a cocktail of proteinase inhibitors and phosphatase inhibitors.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
