Western blot analysis was performed with the same method used in a previous study [25 (link)]. Cytosolic and nuclear proteins were extracted from the liver, gastrocnemius tissue, and hippocampus with lysis buffers containing protease/phosphatase inhibitor, cytosol-extracting buffer. A total of 30 μg of protein for each group was used for western blot analysis. The extract was separated by 8~12% SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis then transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). Then, it was incubated overnight with primary antibodies and probed with the respective secondary antibody reagent (Biorad, Hercules, CA, USA). The bands were adjusted by the band levels of α-tubulin (cytosol) or PCNA (nucleus) [25 (link)].

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.
