DOMSPE samples were collected between 2016 and 2021 on 10 cruises (see SI Appendix for details), including the BATS and the Hawaii Ocean Time-Series, that covered the following regions: N Pacific Gyre, N Atlantic Gyre, S Pacific Gyre, NE Pacific, NE Pacific Shelf, NE Pacific OMZ, San Pedro Basin (coastal California), and the Caeté Estuary (Amazonian mangroves). Porewater DOMSPE samples were collected from the intertidal sediments of the mangrove-fringed Caeté Estuary, south of the Amazon Estuary in North Brazil, and a North Sea intertidal flat in Germany. For marine samples, conductivity, temperature, and density casts for physical parameters (i.e., dissolved oxygen, salinity, fluorescence, temperature) were taken at each station and can be found in the SI Appendix (SI Appendix, Figs. S1–S7). Seawater (∼5–20 L samples) was collected from Niskin bottles into acid-washed polyethylene containers and filtered through a 0.80/0.45 µm capsule filter (AcroPak 500) prior to acidification to pH 2 with reagent grade 12 N hydrochloric acid. DOC concentrations were measured prior to SPE via high-temperature combustion on a Shimadzu Total Organic Carbon Analyzer (Shimadzu Corp). Nutrients (nitrate, phosphate, and silicate) were measured via colorimetry on an AutoAnalyzer II (Seal Analytical; see SI Appendix for station-specific methods details and references).

Plasma samples collected were analyzed for concentrations of glucose, fatty acids, and insulin. Plasma glucose was determined by colorimetric continuous flow analysis (Autoanalyzer II; Seal Analytical, Hampshire, UK) using a modification of the method described by Gochman and Schmitz (1972) (link). Plasma fatty acids was determined by a colorimetric method (NEFA-C kit, Wako Diagnostics Inc., Mountain View, CA). The intraand interassay coefficients of variation (CV) were 3.4 and 8.4%, respectively. Plasma insulin was determined by ELISA using a commercial kit (Bovine Insulin ELI-SA, Mercodia AB, Uppsala, Sweden). The intra-and interassay CV were 3.1 and 8.6%, respectively. Those 3 indices were calculated using measurements taken at -15 and -5 min relative to the IVGTT at 250 and 270 d of gestation.

Glucose and lactate concentrations in plasma were analyzed using the YSI 2300 STAT Plus Glucose and l-Lactate Analyzer (YSI Inc., Yellow Springs, OH). Concentrations of PUN were determined according to the procedure described by Marsh et al. (1965) using the Auto Analyzer II (Seal Analytical, Mequon, WI). Insulin-like glucose factor 1 was measured using the IGF-1 ELISA kit (Immunodiagnostic Systems Inc., Fountain Hills, AZ) and absorbance was measured using the Wallac Victor 2 1420 Multilabel Counter (PerkinElmer, Inc., Waltham, MA).

All assays followed the initial randomization with blocks, such that samples from each block were analyzed in the same assay. Plasma concentrations of NEFA (NEFA-C kit; Wako Diagnostics Inc., Richmond, VA; according to Johnson and Peters, 1993) and BHB (Wako Autokit 3-HB; Wako Diagnostics, Inc.) were analyzed using colorimetric enzymatic assays. The intra-and interassay coefficients of variation (CV) were, respectively, 3.4 and 8.4% for NEFA and 1.0 and 4.0% for BHB. Concentrations of glucose in plasma were determined by colorimetric continuous flow analysis (Autoanalyzer II, Seal Analytical, Southampton, UK) using a modification of the method described by Gochman and Schmitz (1972) . Plasma concentrations of tCa and tMg were analyzed by atomic absorption using a spectrophotometer equipped with Ca-and Mg-specific hollow cathode lamps (AAnalyst 200, Perkin-Elmer Inc., Waltham, MA) as described by Martinez et al. (2012) . Intra-and interassay CV were, respectively, 1.8 and 5.1% for tCa and 1.6 and 4.4% for tMg. Concentrations of tP were quantified in plasma using the molybdenum blue method (Quinlan and DeSesa, 1955) . The intra-and interassay CV were, respectively, 3.4 and 10.1%.

Plasma concentrations of NEFA (NEFA-C kit; Wako Diagnostics Inc., Richmond, VA; according to Johnson and Peters, 1993) and BHB (Wako Autokit 3-HB; Wako Diagnostics Inc.) were analyzed using colorimetric enzymatic assays. The intra-and interassay coefficients of variation (CV) were, respectively, 9.2 and 4.8% for NEFA, and 9.8 and 5.9% for BHB. Concentrations of glucose in plasma were determined by colorimetric continuous flow analysis (Autoanalyzer II, Seal Analytical, Southampton, UK) using a modification of the method described by Gochman and Schmitz (1972) ). The intra-and interassay CV were 4.5 and 4.7%, respectively. Details of assays of vitamin D metabolites in plasma and iCa in whole blood are presented in a companion paper (Rodney et al., 2018) .

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.
