This is to evaluate lipid metabolism in an animal fed with different new chemicals in order to development of new hypocholesterolemic agents. Also they could be compared with serum levels.
I think the following protocol will hold good for your assay:
"Liver tissue preparation for G6Pas and GP assay. The whole liver was quickly removed from mice, and 100mg of wet hepatic tissue was placed into ice-cold 0.25m sucrose solutions. The mixture was homogenized at 4ºC for 1 min and diluted to 2 mL/100 mg wet liver with the sucrose solution. The homogenate was centrifuged at 4ºC 12000×g for 30 min. The supernatant fluid was collected and frozen for enzymatic assay (Nordlie and Arion, 1965, 1966; Wallis et al., 1999).
