How to sample blood on X. laevis ?

21 June 2022 0 9K Report

Hi everyone,

I am currently working with X. laevis and I would like to collect blood samples. This would happened right before euthanasia on anesthetized individuals. My aim is to measure testosterone level. Does anyone have any document/protocol to share ?

Best wishes,

Laurent
