[Extraction of synaptosomes from the cortex of Göttinger minipigs]

The present paper describes the enrichment of synaptosomes from the cortex of a laborytory animal, which is especially suitable for this purpose, the laboratory mini pig. Great importance is attributed to a reproducible preparation and subcellular fractionation. After this standardized preparation procedure, the synaptosomal and mitochondrial fractions are inspected electron microscopically.
