Abstract
Acute periods of contractile inactivity cause skeletal muscle atrophy along with profound alterations in tissue metabolism. Hind limb unloading via tail suspension is a commonly used rodent model of muscle atrophy. Here, we describe a sample preparation and LC-MS/MS approach for quantifying specific panels of acylcarnitines, amino acids, and organic acids in small (~8 mg) samples of atrophied mouse soleus following a period of hind limb unloading.Entities:
