The muscle samples were centrifuged (15 m<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>, 2500 x g) at18°C.79
An aliquot (1 ml) of chloroform lower phase was pipetted <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>to a test tube <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> evaporatedus<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g water bath (ca. 40°C) <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> a flow of nitrogen gas.
