Expression of the enzymes involved in glucose metabolism and in cytosolic and ER PPP was determined by Western blot, using standard procedures. Anterior and posterior brain regions were homogenized in PBS in the presence of a protease inhibitor cocktail for mammalian cells, and total protein was measured by Bradford assay. After SDS-PAGE, performed according to the standard method on 10% precast gels (BioRad), proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane. The membrane was blocked for 1 h with Tris Buffered Saline (TBS) plus 0.15% Tween 20 (TBSt) containing 5% nonfat dry milk and incubated overnight at 4 °C with the following rabbit polyclonal antibodies: anti-HK II (1:1000, Cell Signalling #2867), anti-G6Pase (1:1000, Abcam, ab93857), anti-PFKP (1:200, Cell Signalling #8164), anti-G6PD (1:1000, Abcam, ab210702), anti_H6PD (1:1000, Abcam, ab170895), or anti-actin (1:10,000, Thermo-Fisher MA5-11869).

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.
