GC-MS Analysis of 13C Metabolites

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
13C metabolism labeling experiments have previously been documented [23 (link)]. Metabolite extracts were collected and 2ul of metabolite extract samples were injected for the GC-MS analysis using an Agilent 6980 GC coupled to an Agilent 5973 MS system. Relative metabolite abundances were determined by normalizing abundances of each metabolite to the internal standard and to cell number.

Cholesterol Profiling of T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Splenic T cells from female Ldlr−/− and T-AbcdkoLdlr−/− mice fed a chow diet for 28 weeks, and young (3 months) and aged (24 months) wild-type male and female mice were isolated as described above. Cholestanol-D5 was added to the T cells as internal standard and cholesterol was extracted using hexane. For T cells from Ldlr−/− and T-AbcdkoLdlr−/− mice, samples were split for measurement of either total or free cholesterol content using Gas Chromatography—Mass Spectrometry (7890B GS system, 5973 MS system, and 7693 A automatic liquid sampler from Agilent; positive chemical ionization mode with 5% ammonia in methane as reaction gas). A polar DB-WAXetr (30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 µm) column was used. CE content was calculated by subtracting free cholesterol from total cholesterol. Cholesterol content was normalized to cellular protein content measured by the Lowry assay. For T cells of young and aged wild-type mice, total cholesterol content was assessed using the same procedure.

GC-MS Analysis of Metabolites

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Metabolism experiments were carried out as described previously [22] (link). Metabolite extracts were collected. A total of 2 μl of metabolite extracts were injected for gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) analysis using an Agilent 6980 GC coupled to an Agilent 5973 MS system. Relative metabolite abundances were investigated by comparing the abundance of each metabolite with internal standards and cell protein standards.

Lipid Profiling in Pancreatic Tissues

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS; Agilent 6890 GC coupled to an Agilent 5973 MS System, Waldbronn, Germany) and liquid chromatography-MS/MS (LC–MS/MS; Agilent 1100 HPLC-System, Darmstadt, Germany) were applied for the determination of fatty acids, triglycerides, cholesterol, phospholipids and eicosanoid levels.
Fatty acids, triglycerides, cholesterol, phospholipids and eicosanoid were extracted from pancreatic tissues respectively by liquid/liquid extraction and solid/liquid extraction. For further details, please see the Supplementary materials and methods.

GC-MS Analysis of Cyanobacteria and Plants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cyanobacteria cells were harvested by centrifugation at 5000× g for 10 min at 4 °C and washed three times with distilled water. The pellets were then dried. The plant samples (0.3 g) were weighed and used for the subsequent analysis. The cyanobacteria cells and plant samples were transmethylated, extracted and analyzed by a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) system using an Agilent 5973 MS system coupled with an Agilent 6890 gas chromatograph fitted with an HP-SMS capillary column (30 × 0.25 mm, film thickness 0.25 µm) [31 (link),32 (link)]. Helium was used as the carrier gas at a flow rate of 1 mL min−1 with an injector temperature of 250 °C, a split ratio of 50:1 and a temperature program of 120 °C to 220 °C at a rate of 4 °C min−1.

Three types of mass spectrometry analyses were applied. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS; Agilent 6890 GC coupled to an Agilent 5973 MS System, Waldbronn, Germany) and liquid chromatography–MS/MS (LC–MS/MS; Agilent 1100 HPLC-System coupled to an Applied Biosystems API4000 MS/MS-System, Darmstadt, Germany).25 (link) Solid-phase extraction-LC–MS/MS (SPE-LC–MS/MS; Symbiosis Pharma, Spark, Emmen, The Netherlands) coupled to an Applied Biosystems API4000 MS/MS-System was used for the determination of steroid levels.26–28 (link)
Total lipids were extracted from plasma by liquid/liquid extraction using chloroform/methanol. The lipid extracts were subsequently fractionated by normal phase liquid chromatography into 11 different lipid groups.27 (link) For further details, see online supplementary material methods.

The metabolite extracts were collected. A total of 2 μL metabolite extracts were injected for gas chromatography‐mass spectrometer (GC‐MS) analysis by an Agilent 6980 GC coupled to an Agilent 5973 MS system. The relative abundances of the metabolites were determined by comparing the abundance of each metabolite with internal standards and cell protein standards.

Targeted Serum Metabolite Profiling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Targeted metabolite pro ling of the serum samples which passed quality control was performed at a specialized metabolomics lab using a commercially available kit. The kit uses a protocol based on a 1phase extraction of the blood samples followed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) (Agilent 6890 GC coupled to an Agilent 5973 MS-System) and liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) (Agilent 1100 HPLC-System coupled to an Applied Biosystems API4000 MS/MS-System) analysis as previously described [28] . The analytical protocol was designed for routine measurement in the clinical practice setting; however, it is currently only available in specialized labs equipped with MS technology. The samples were stored at - 80 °C and transferred on dry ice prior to analysis. The three CLP metabolomic features and NT-proBNP measurements, were generated at baseline, only for the previously mentioned samples (n = 280). NT-proBNP was a measured using commercially available assays (Elecsys, Roche Diagnostics).

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.
