June 21, 2016 by
Weeks and weeks of Western blots and FINALLY I was able to get a signal for PGC1a! I honestly cannot tell you how exciting it was when I realized that the dark red band was right around the target area for the gene, and I was able to quantify it as well! The first time […]

Since I will be using Western Blotting to determine whether PGC1a’s expression is greater in exercised rat aortas, it is important that I can first make sure that I can run […]
