MS analysis of FFPE and matched fresh-frozen mouse liver tissue. 1-year old FFPE mouse liver was homogenized in extraction buffer and heated with or without elevated pressure. Fresh-frozen tissue was extracted either at atmospheric pressure using the indicated extraction conditions, or on ice for 2.5 h
