Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After all subjects had fasted for 10 hours, venous blood samples were drawn into vacuum tubes and stored at room temperature for 30 min before centrifugation (1,200 ×g for 10 min). Plasma samples were collected in vacuum tubes, stored at −80 ℃, and transported on dry ice. Samples were collected in the blood collection room of the hospital. Plasma samples were prepared and tested using Bruker IVDr Standard Operating Procedures (19 (link)) at ProteinT Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Tianjin, China). Samples were thawed at room temperature, and 400-µL plasma samples were mixed thoroughly with 400 µL buffer (phosphate buffer pH 7.4 containing TSP-D4; Bruker, Rheinstetten, Germany), of which 600 µL was transferred to a 5-mm NMR tube for analysis.
The test was performed on a 600 MHz NMR AVANCE III HD spectrometer equipped with a BBI probe head and a SampleJet autosampler, adjusted to 6 ℃ during the test (Bruker Biospin). Before acquisition of sample data, each sample was automatically tuned and shimmed. The free induction decay signals (FIDs) were presented in the form of a Fourier-transformed spectrum, and automatic phase and baseline correction were performed in Toppin software as Bruker IVDr. The concentrations of metabolites were expressed as mmol/L (Figure S1).

1H-NMR spectroscopic analysis of chicken serum samples was performed by the NMR Laboratory (nmr@chemistry.mcmaster.ca) in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, McMaster University (Hamilton, Ontario, Canada). One hundred microlitres of 0.9% saline in D2O with 1 mg/ml sodium [2,2,3,3-d4]3-trimethylsilyIpropanoate (TSP-d4) was mixed with 500 µl serum in high quality 5-mm NMR tubes. 1H NMR spectra of serum were recorded on a Bruker Avance III 700 MHz NMR spectrometer (Bruker Biospin, Rheinstetten, Germany) equipped with a 5 mm QNP cryo-probe and SampleJet autosampler, and operating at a proton frequency of 700.17 MHz. A carr-Purcel-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) spin-echo pulse sequence [recycle delay−90°− (τ–180°–τ)n–acquisition] was used to emphasize resonances from low molecular-weight metabolites14 (link),28 (link),61 (link). 1H NMR data for each sample were acquired using 128 scans (64k data points) with a 2.5 second relaxation delay. Chemical shifts were referenced to the internal reference (TSP-d4: 0.00 ppm). 1H NMR data with water suppression using excitation sculpting with gradients were subsequently acquired using the same number of scans and time of relaxation delay as that for 1H NMR data.

Brain Metabolite Extraction and NMR Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All brain samples were prepared using a modified version of the protocol previously described by Graham et al. (2013) 26 and Bahado-Singh et al. (2016) 27 . In brief, all brain specimens were weighed and defrosted on ice. Subsequently, samples were milled and extracted in 50 % methanol/water (1 g/ml) in a sterile 2 ml Eppendorf tube. Samples were mixed for 20 min, sonicated for 15 min and the protein removed via centrifugation at 13,000 g at 4 ºC for 30 min. Supernatants were collected and dried under vacuum using a Savant DNA Speedvac (Thermo Scientific, USA) and reconstituted in 285 μL of 50 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0), 30 μL of Sodium 2,2-dimethyl-2-silapentane-5-sulfonate (DSS) and 35 μL of D2O 28 . 200 μL of the reconstituted sample was transferred to a 3 mm Bruker NMR tube for NMR analysis. All samples were housed at 4°C in a thermostatically controlled SampleJet autosampler (Bruker-Biospin, USA) and heated to room temperature over 3 min prior to analysis by NMR.

Collected biomass (5 mg) was resuspended in 6 M HCl and hydrolyzed for 12 h at 110 °C. The obtained hydrolysate was dried and washed twice with D2O (dried again between each washing step), resuspended in 200 μL DCl [0.1% (v/v) in D2O], and transferred into 3 mm NMR tubes for analysis. The biomass hydrolysates were analyzed in duplicate by 1D 1H NMR, 1D 13C NMR, 2D ZQF-TOCSY NMR and 2D HSQC [21 (link)]. For the analysis, a spectrometer Bruker Ascend™ 800 MHz (Bruker, Billerica, Massachusetts, USA) equipped with a 5 mm CQPI (1H, 13C, 31P, 15N) cryoprobe and a Sample Jet auto sampler (Bruker, Billerica, Massachusetts, USA) was used.

NMR Metabolomics Profiling of Fecal Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NMR data were recorded using Bruker 600MHz AVANCE III Spectrometer equipped with a BBFO + probe and a Sample Jet autosampler, which enabled the storage of 5 racks of 96 NMR tubes at 5 °C.
The sample temperature was controlled at 300 K during experiments. Spectra were recorded using the 1D Nuclear Over Hauser Effect spectroscopy pulse sequence (trd-90°-t1-90°-tm-90°-taq) with a relaxation delay (trd) of 24 s, a mixing time (tm) of 4 ms, and a t1 of 4 μs. The sequence enables optimal suppression of the water signal that dominates the spectrum. We collected 128 free induction decays (FIDs) of 65,532 data points using a spectral width of 12,019.230 kHz and an acquisition time of 2.726 s. The spectra were automatically phased and baseline corrected and referenced to the internal standard (TSP; δ = 0.0 ppm).
The relaxation delay was set at 24 s in order to reach the complete relaxation of all the metabolites between scans; this is a mandatory step in NMR when absolute concentration of the metabolites is calculated.
Two-dimensional (2D) NMR spectra were obtained to aid the assignment of fecal metabolites. The set of 2D experiments included 1H-1H correlation spectroscopy (COSY); 1H-1H total correlation spectroscopy (TOCSY), and 1H-13C heteronuclear single quantum correlation (HSQC) using the standard parameters implemented in Topspin 3.5pl7 (Bruker Biospin GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany).

Optimized Metabolomics NMR Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
1H-NMR experiments were performed on Bruker Avance 600 MHz equipped with a SampleJet autosampler using a noesypr1d sequence, mixing time of 100 ms, a spectral window of 12 ppm, acquisition time of 2 s, relaxing time of 3 s, 516 scans, 4 dummy scans, and T = 298 K. This sequence has become the best choice for NMR-based metabolomics studies [42 (link)] for several reasons. Firstly, the quality of water suppression is very high without the need for extensive optimization. Secondly, an increasing number of well-established groups utilize the sequence, reflecting its consistency [43 (link)]. Finally, the library of Chenomx used in this study to quantify metabolite concentrations is optimized for this sequence and compensates for incomplete relaxation.

Brown fat tissue samples (~20 mg) were homogenized and extracted with a mixture of ice-cold solvents water/methanol/chloroform (H2O/MeOH/CHCl3 1:1:1, v:v:v). The water/methanol phase was separated and dried in a speedvac. The extract was reconstituted in a 550 μl mixture containing 500 μl of phosphate buffer pH 7.4 and 50 μl of 1mM of TSP-d4 in D2O, vortexed for 20 seconds and transferred to 5 mm NMR tubes. The NMR spectra were acquired on a Bruker 600 MHz Avance III HD spectrometer equipped with a BBI room temperature probehead and SampleJet auto sampler (Bruker Biospin, Rheinstetten, Germany). 1H NMR spectra were recorded using 1D noesy pulse sequence with presaturation (noesygppr1d), collecting 256 scans with calibrated 90 degree pulse (~11 μs), 4.55 second acquisition time, and 4 second relaxation delay. Metabolites were identified and quantified using Chenomx NMR suite 8.2 software, by fitting the spectral lines of library compounds into the recorded NMR spectrum of tissue extract. The quantification was based on peak area of TSP-d4 signal. The metabolite concentrations are exported as μM in NMR sample and normalized to wet tissue mass (nmol/mg of tissue).
