In histological studies, ATP levels can be measured using various techniques such as:
- Bioluminescence Assays: These assays use luciferase enzymes that emit light in the presence of ATP. - High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC): This technique separates and quantifies ATP and its metabolites. - Immunohistochemistry: Specific antibodies against ATP can be used to visualize its distribution within tissues.
