Proton NMR (1H NMR) spectra were acquired with a Bruker Avance-500SB (Bruker, Wissembourg, France) operating at 500.13 MHz and equipped with a 5 mm broadband inverse probe with non-spinning samples and thermostated at 298 K. Spectra were collected into 32 K points with a spectral width of 5,000 Hz (10 ppm). Acquisition of the spectra was performed with a presaturation of the water signal during 2 s after a relaxation delay of 8 s. A total of 128 transients were accumulated for a total acquisition time of 28 min and 24 s. Spectra were phased, baseline corrected, and referenced to TSP manually with the XWIN-NMR software (version 3.5, Bruker, Karlsruhe, Germany).

Media samples were prepared for NMR analyses based on protocols as described by Beckonert and colleagues [24 (link)]. Briefly, 300 μl media samples were mixed 1:1 with NMR phosphate buffer (50% v/v D20 (GOSS Scientific, UK, 0.01% v/v sodium 3-(trimethylsilyl) propionic acid 2,2,3,3-d4 ([TSP)], pH 7.4) and centrifuged at 12,470 × g for 5 minutes. Some 550 μl of sample was transferred into 5-mm NMR tubes (Bruker, Germany) and all samples from both studies were run on a Bruker Avance 600 NMR Spectrometer with TXI probe head (Bruker), using XWIN-NMR software (Bruker Biospin, Germany). 1H NMR data were acquired by applying a standard one-dimensional (1D) pulse programme for 128 scans (after eight dummy scans), that included water irradiation during the recycle delay, set at 2 seconds (s). The pulse sequence was set to: recycle delay-90°-t-90°-tm-90°-ACQ, whereby 90° pulse length was set to between 16.5 μs, t (short delay) = 2 s, tm (mixing time) = 100 ms and ACQ (acquisition period) = at 2.73 s per scan. Spectral data underwent baseline correction, internal reference (TSP) peak calibration and phasing, using an in-house MATLAB algorithm (version R2012b, Mathworks Inc, USA) and Topspin 3.1 software (Bruker BioSpin, Germany). Water regions and HEPES buffer peaks were removed followed by to automatic spectral alignment and probabilistic quotient normalization [25 (link)] in MATLAB.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Following imaging, cell pellets were subjected to 19F NMR spectroscopy. NMR spectra were collected on each sample to measure linewidth and peak position. Inhomogeneous line broadening in the cell pellets prevented accurate measurement of intracellular 19F relaxation rates by spectroscopy, so cell pellets (~20 µL in volume) were then uniformly suspended in 80 µL of 1.0% low-melting-temperature agarose (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc, Waltham, MA) and placed in shortened 5 mm borosilicate glass NMR tubes. For the 1D spectra, a 10 µs 45° pulse was used to collect 4 k points of the FID with a 120 ppm spectral width, using 8 to 32 averages and a recycle delay of 1 sec. T2 was measured using the CPMG sequence (19 , 20 ) with 9 µs 90° and 18 µs 180° pulses, and echo time of 1 ms; echoes were collected at multiples of 4 ms up to 800 ms. A 2-sec recycle delay was used to collect 8–32 averages depending on the sample. T2 was determined with a 3-parameter monoexponential decay using XWIN NMR software (Bruker). T1 was measured by saturation recovery using an aperiodic pulse train for saturation. For the samples with higher iron concentrations, rapid relaxation precluded the measurement of T2 because the signal decayed before the formation of the first echo at 4 ms.

Anesthesia induction was performed with an intraperitoneal injection of 1.0% ketamine in all TBI rats. The rats were then set in a 4.7-T Bruke r BioSpec Imager (Bruker Medical System, Karlsruhe, Germany). Brain MRI and MR spectroscopy were applied by a blinded researcher according to a previously described method [17 (link)]. Briefly, a T2-weighted image (T2WI) sequence with 4,500 repetition times (ms) and 80 echo times (ms) was applied. The slice thickness was 1.5 mm. The cross-sectional area was measured with ParaVision 3.0 software (Bruker Medical System). The lesion volume was calculated from the cross-sectional area and slice thickness.
To measure the metabolites with MR spectroscopy, the volume of interest was selected over the perilesional area with a cubic volume of 2×2×2 mm3 in the injured hemisphere in T2WI. Bruker’s XWIN-NMR software was used to process all raw spectroscopic data. The metabolites were identified according to their chemical shift, as observed in the MR spectroscopy, in parts per million values: choline (Cho), 3.2; creatine (Cr), 3.03; N-acetylaspartate (NAA), 2.0; and lactate (Lac), 1.3; 0.9. The Cho, NAA, Lac, and 0.9 peak areas were quantitated as relative ratios to Cr, which was the internal reference for each rat, to allow the comparison of metabolite levels over time and between different animals [18 (link)].

Proton resonances
from organic compounds in stillage were measured during fermentation
by a proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy
with a water suppression pulse sequence. The compounds α-GPC,
ethanol, lactic acid, acetic acid, succinic acid, betaine, glycerol,
and PEA were measured quantitatively by resonance signals at 3.05,
1.07, 1.25, 1.95, 2.5, 3.09, 3.45, 7.2 ppm, respectively. The strong
water resonance present in the spectra was suppressed using double
pulse field gradient spin echo, as provided by the Bruker XWIN-NMR
software (Bruker, Mississauga, ON, Canada). The samples were collected
every 24 h for seven days of incubation, and before analysis, samples
were centrifuged (Beckman Coulter Canada Inc., Mississauga, ON, Canada)
at 10,000 rpm for 10 min, and supernatant samples were filtered with
0.45 μm PTFE filters (Pall Corp, Ann Arbor, MI). Finally, filtered
samples (0.5 mL) were added to clean NMR tubes. Deuterium oxide (50
μL, D2O, 99.8%) was mixed with each sample to provide
a locking signal, 40 μL of pyrazine (C4H4N2) was added as an internal standard, and 500 μL
of filtered samples were pipetted into each NMR tube. 1H NMR was used to record spectra (16 scans), and the concentration
was determined by comparison with the internal standard resonance
at 8.5 ppm.

Serial spectra were phase and baseline corrected and integrated using the XWinNMR software (Bruker Biospin, Coventry, UK). The integrated peak areas from the pyruvate/lactate experiments were plotted as a function of time, and apparent reaction rates were obtained by least-squares fitting of the data to the modified Bloch equations using a two-site exchange model as previously described (Hill et al, 2013a (link), 2013b (link)). All apparent rate constants for the forward reaction of conversion of pyruvate-to-lactate (kPL) are presented as a mean concentration per second normalised to the number of cells.
