The solvent was removed at 50 °C by rotary evaporator (Zhengzhou Kaixiang instrument equipment Co., Ltd., Zhengzhou, Henan, China). The sodium citrate buffer solution was added to the dried sample, and the mixture was shaken evenly, filtered through 0.22 μm membrane and transferred to the injection bottle as sample determination solution. Samples were measured under the following conditions: AccQ-Tag Ultra C18 column, detection wavelength 260 nm, column temperature 49 °C, sample temperature 20 °C, and flow rate 0.7 mL/min.

To validate the metabolite results, potential metabolite markers including glycine, L‐glutamic acid, and L‐aspartic acid in serum and brain were quantified using an automatic amino acid analyzer. Briefly, 200 μl of serum and 400 μl of 8% s‐sulfosalicylic acid (8 g sulfosalicylic acid dissolved in 100 ml pure water) were mixed in a 1.5‐ml Eppendorf tube. For tissue samples, 400 μl of 10% s‐sulfosalicylic acid (10 g sulfosalicylic acid dissolved in 100 ml pure water) was added to 50 mg tissue in a 2‐ml Eppendorf tube and then grind with a high‐speed tissue grinder. After being centrifuged at 14,000 rpm for 15 min at 4 °C, the supernatant was filtered through a 0.45‐μm membrane. The expression levels of glycine, l‐glutamic acid and l‐aspartic acid were quantified by a Hitachi L‐8900 automatic amino acid analyzer (Hitachi High‐Technologies).

The FAAs were extracted according to the method of Liu et al. (2021) (link). Briefly, 5 g of an edible tissue was dissolved in 10 mL of 0.02 M dilute hydrochloric acid and homogenized for 30 s, afterward, the resulting solution was subjected to ultrasound for 5 min. Thereafter, the homogenate was centrifuged for 10 min at 5000 rpm and °C4°C, and the supernatant was maintained at °C4°C. The precipitate was treated again, following the aforementioned procedure, to obtain another supernatant, and the two obtained supernatants were combined. The processed samples were diluted to a final volume (25 mL) with Milli-Q purified water (Millipore Sigma). Subsequently, 2 mL of 5% sulfosalicylic acid was mixed with 2 mL of the diluent, and the mixed diluent was centrifuged again (1 × 104 rpm, °C4°C) for 10 min. Next, the supernatant was filtered through a 0.22-μm filter membrane-aquo system and analyzed with an L-8900 automatic amino acid analyzer (Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). All the samples were analyzed in triplicates.

For hydrolytic amino acids, 0.1 g of each sample was placed in a 16 mm × 25 mm screw-cap tube and dissolved in 10 mL HCl (6 mol/L). The tubes were closed, placed in an electric oven at 110°C for 24 h, cooled, and then their content was diluted to 50 mL with ultrapure water. Then, 1mL of each diluted sample was removed and evaporated at 60°C until dry. The residue was then reconstituted with 2 mL of HCl (0.02 mol/L) and filtered through a 0.45-μm membrane. Subsequently, the contents of amino acids were analyzed using a Hitachi L-8900 Automatic Amino Acid analyzer (Hitachi Ltd.) fitted with a 2622SC-PH sodium citrate equilibrium ion exchange column (Hitachi Ltd.) and post column derivatization with ninhydrin, according to the manufacture’s standard procedure [32 ].

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.
