Mice fed with the cytohesin inhibitor SecinH3 for two days develop hepatic insulin resistance that can be identified by reduced liver glycogen levels, increased serum insulin and ketone body levels and decreased serum non-esterified fatty acid. To confirm the presence and identity of SecinH3 in mouse liver, we extracted the compound from liver homogenates with chloroform and identified it by LC/MS. - [Read Extraction of the SecinH3 from Mouse Liver Protocol]

This protocol is the first of two describing solid-phase chemical cleavage of mismatch (SpCCM), a method for the detection of mutations in genomic DNA. DNA fragments up to 2 kb in length can be analyzed to determine the position (within 10-15 bp) and identity of the mismatched nucleotide. - [Read Mutation Detection by Solid-Phase Chemical Cleavage of Mismatches Using Radioactive Probes Protocol]
