20-HETE was quantified by LC-MS/MS-based lipidomics. Blood was withdrawn at the end of the experiment by aspiration from the inferior vena cava into a heparinized syringe. Urine and plasma samples were mixed with 2 volumes of cold methanol, internal standards were added and samples kept at −80°C. Renal preglomerular arteries and mesenteric arteries were microdissected and incubated in Kreb’s bicarbonate buffer, pH 7, 1 mM NADPH at 37°C for 1 h. Tissue incubations were terminated with 2 volumes of cold methanol, internal standards were added, and samples were kept at −80°C. 20-HETE was extracted and levels quantified by LC-MS/MS on a Shimadzu Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer LCMS-8050 as previously described.

LC-MS/MS analysis was performed using a Shimadzu Nexera UPLC system (Shimadzu Corp., Kyoto, Japan) with an LCMS-8050 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (Shimadzu Corp., Kyoto, Japan). Chromatographic separation was achieved using an Intrada amino acid column (150 mm × 2 mm, 3 µm). Nebulizing and drying gas flow was 3.0 L/min and 10.0 L/min, respectively. The pressure of the collision-induced dissociation (CID) gas was 270 kPa. The interface, desolvation line (DL) and heat block temperature were set at 200 °C, 200 °C, and 300 °C, respectively. Mobile phase A was composed of ACN/tetrahydrofuran/25 mM ammonium formate/formic acid (9/75/16/0.3, v/v/v/v) and mobile phase B was composed of ACN/100 mM ammonium formate (20/80, v/v). The mobile phase gradient program, initially set at 0% of mobile phase B, increased to 17% of mobile phase B (2.5–6.5 min), increased to 100% of mobile phase B (6.5–10 min), held for 5 min, and decreased to the initial 0% of mobile phase B, followed by a 3 min re-equilibration period. The total flow rate was set at 0.6 mL/min; the column temperature was maintained at 35 °C. In SRM modes with electrospray ionization (ESI) mode, one quantitative ion for each metabolite was used for peak quantification.

Measurement of plasma MEL levels was carried out as per the method reported previously with some modifications.24 Briefly, MEL levels in plasma samples were measured using a validated LC/MS-MS using a Shimadzu-Nexera X2 ultra HPLC consisting of binary gradient pumps (LC-30AD), auto sampler (SIL-30AC), mobile phase degasser (DGU20ASR), and a column oven (CTO-20AC) coupled with an LCMS-8050 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). The data were analyzed using LC Solutions software (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). The parameters were adjusted to yield maximum multiple reaction monitoring signals. The Q1/Q3 for MEL was set at 304.80 > 288.10 m/z and 182.70 > 119.80 m/z for IS NPEA in the positive electrospray ionization mode, respectively. Chromatographic separation of the analytes was done using Luna C18 (4.6 × 150 mm, 5 μm, Phenomenex, USA) protected with a C18 guard column from the same source. The liquid chromatography conditions were as follows: solvent A: water containing 0.1% formic acid and solvent B: 0.1%; formic acid in acetonitrile was used as mobile phase with gradient elution of solvent B at 20% (0-4.0 minutes); 80% (4.0-6.0 minutes); 20% (7.0-10.0 minutes) at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. The total run time was 10 minutes. Retention time for MEL was 2.2 minutes and the IS was 2.7 minutes. The concentration of MEL was expressed as ng/mL.

From anesthetized animals, plasma was collected by centrifugation of whole blood (800 g for 15 min). The determination of BPA was conducted as previously reported52 (link), with some minor modifications. Briefly, d16-BPA was added as internal standard and samples were defatted with hexane and then extracted with dichloromethane. The extracts were purified in two successive Solid Phase Extraction steps, one with a Florisil solid phase and one with a C18 solid phase. Deconjugation was carried out using β-Glucuronidase/Arylsulfatase from Helix pomatia (Sigma-Aldrich).
Chromatographic separations were carried out using a LCMS-8050 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer equipped with a Nexera UHPLC System (Shimadzu). BPA was separated on an Acquity UPLC BEH (2.1 mm × 50 mm, 1.7μm) C18 column (Waters). A 1.5 min linear gradient was used from 10–95% methanol in water followed by a hold at 95% for 1.0 min at a flow rate of 0.4 ml/min. Negative ion electrospray mass spectrometry with selected reaction monitoring (SRM) and a dwell time of 50 ms per transition was used for the measurement of each analyte.
