With my research project I been working on with Dr. Pederson we are tying to measure glycogen levels on mice. There are some mice that doesn’t have glycogen, and some do, so we gather a wild type of mouse and a genetic modify mouse to experiment on for glycogen measurement. The brain is the main tissue to measure glycogen levels on. We will inject it with some type of serum and other compounds that is able to increase glycogen levels. Week by week will be measuring different tissues for glycogen levels. One of the techniques I have done is called a Bradford assay which is a technique that detects proteins. I would like to know why we detect proteins if we are measuring glycogen level on mice. We also do a glycogen determination from frozen skeletal muscle tissue, so the frozen heart is powdered with a metal tissue and cooled in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 degrees Celsius. There are many techniques to measure glycogen I will be learning and experimenting on for this research project.
