Sampleprep Summary: | Frozen tissues were pulverized under liquid nitrogen using a mortar and pestle. Metabolites were then extracted using sequential 500 μL additions of -20°C MeOH, chilled water, and chloroform. After each addition, tissue lysates were prepared with a Tissue Lyser (Qiagen) for 60 seconds at 30Hz. Similarly, plasma metabolites (20 μL) were extracted by sequential 500 μL additions of -20°C MeOH, chilled water, and chloroform. After each addition, samples were vortexed for 30 seconds. Tissue and plasma extracts were then centrifuged at 4°C and 14400 x g for 20 minutes and the clarified aqueous phase was transferred to a fresh Eppendorf and stored in -80°C until processing for GC-MS analysis. For GC-MS analysis, the extracted tissue was dried under N2 gas-flow at 37°C using an evaporator. Amino and organic acids were derivatized via methoximation and silylation. Briefly, metabolites were resuspended in 25 μL of methoxylamine hydrochloride (2% (w/v) in pyridine) and incubated at 40°C for 90 minutes on a heating block. After brief centrifugation, 35 μL of MTBSTFA + 1% TBDMS was added and the samples were incubated at 60°C for 30 minutes. |
