The gill tissues from the Cd-treated group (7 d) were collected for metabolomic analysis considering that the accumulation of metabolites requires some time. Metabolite extraction and detection were performed in accordance with previously described methods [21 (link)]. Briefly, samples were ground to powder with liquid nitrogen using a mixer mill (MM 400, Retsch, Laichi, Germany). Then, 20 mg of powder for each sample was extracted with 400 μL of aqueous methanol (Methanol/Water = 7:3, v/v) containing internal standard and shaken at 2500 rpm for 5 min. After placing on ice for 15 min, the extract was centrifuged at 12,000× g for 10 min (4 °C). Supernatant (300 μL) was collected and placed in −20 °C for 30 min. The supernatant was collected and transferred to vials for UPLC-QTOF-MS analysis (UPLC, ExionLC AD, https://sciex.com.cn/ (accessed on 21 February 2023); MS, QTRAP® System, https://sciex.com/ (accessed on 21 February 2023)). Significantly changed metabolites (SCMs) were identified with a threshold of VIP values (variable importance in project, VIP > 1) and p-values (p-value < 0.05, Student’s t test). These metabolites were annotated using the KEGG Compound database and mapped to the KEGG Pathway database for pathway analysis.

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.
