water (A), 99.9% acetonitrile, and 0.1% formic acid (B), at a flow
rate of 150 μL/min. The binary gradient of the mobile phase
was 0–1 min, 5% B; 1–16 min 5–95% B; 16–18
min, 95% B; 18–20, 5% B. EE was dissolved in 5% acetonitrile
with a concentration of 1 mg/mL and then filtered using a syringe
filter with a pore size 0.2 μm. The sample injection volume
was 3.1 μL (full loop injection). Eluted compounds were detected
from m/z 100 to 1000 with a resolution of 100,000
in the negative-ion mode using the following instrument settings:
nebulizer gas, nitrogen, 1.6 bar; dry gas, nitrogen, 6 liters min–1, 190 °C; capillary, −5500 V; in-source
CID energy, 0 V; hexapole RF, 100 Vpp; quadrupole ion energy, 5 eV;
collision gas, argon; collision energy, 10 eV; collision RF 200/400
Vpp (timing 50/50); transfer time, 70 μs; prepulse storage,
5 μs; pulser frequency, 10 kHz; spectra rate, 3 Hz. Internal
mass calibration was performed by the infusion of 20 μL of 10
mM lithium formate in isopropanol: water, 1:1 (v/v), at a gradient
time of 18 min using a diverter valve.

Fecal lipidomic profiling was performed at the Laboratory for Metabolomics, RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences, as described previously (62 (link)). Briefly, collected mouse feces were homogenized in methanol, and lipids were obtained by single-phase extraction. Lipids were separated on an Acquity UPLC Peptide BEH C18 column (Waters). Oxidized fatty acids, including LA metabolites, were extracted using a Sep-Pak C18 cartridge (Waters) and analyzed by LC-quadrupole MS (QTRAP4500 or QTRAP5500; Sciex). Untargeted lipidomics was performed using an ACUITY UPLC system (Waters) coupled with QTOF-MS (TripleTOF 5600+ or TripleTOF 6600; Sciex) (93 (link)).

The UPLC–MS
measurement for SCU was reported by Li et al.31 (link) An Acuity UPLC system equipped with a binary pump, degasser, autosampler,
and temperature-controlled column compartment and a TQD quantum triple-quadrupole
mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source
(Waters Corp., Manchester, UK) were used for SCU analysis in the pharmacokinetics
and tissue distribution studies. Liquid chromatography (LC) was performed
by a Waters Van Guard BEH C18 column (2.1 mm × 50 mm, 1.7 μm)
at 45 °C with the mobile phase consisting of 0.1% formic acid
in acetonitrile (A) and 0.1% formic acid water (B). The gradient program
is as follows: 0–0.5 min, 5% A and 95% B; 0.5–3 min,
5–95% A and 95–5% B; and 3–3.5 min, 95–5%
A and 5–95% B. The peaks were obtained at a flow rate of 0.3
mL/min with a sample injection volume of 1 μL. The electrospray

In the positive ion mode, the SCU parameters are as follows: capillary
voltage at 3 kV, cone voltage at 30 V, and collision energy at 20
eV; the puerarin parameters are as follows: capillary voltage at 3
kV, cone voltage at 40 V, and collision energy at 30 eV. SCU and puerarin
(internal standard) were quantified using the selected ion recording
mode (SIR) of their parent ions, 463 and 417, respectively.

The gradient was kept at 80% mobile phase B for 11 min and then dropped directly to 30% mobile phase B and maintained for 5 min. Intact glycopeptides were collected during 12–13 min of the gradient. The sample was dried for LC–MS/MS analysis.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
