| Sampleprep Summary: | Mitochondria were isolated from quadriceps muscle by differential centrifugation, as described previously (38). Briefly, quadriceps muscle samples were homogenized on ice using a motor-driven Potter-Elvehjem tissue grinder. After initial centrifugation, the supernatant containing the mitochondrial and sarcoplasmic fraction was transferred to a chilled microcentrifuge tube and centrifuged at 10,000 g for 2 min to pellet mitochondria. The supernatant containing sarcoplasmic fraction was frozen for further analysis. Mitochondrial pellet was washed twice by resuspending/centrifugation and finally suspended in a mitochondrial storage buffer. The levels of both the LCFa-CoA and sphingolipids in homogenates and various muscle fractions were normalized to total protein content, as measured by 660 nm Protein Assay (Thermo Scientific; Pierce Protein Biology Products, Rockford, IL). / Plasma free fatty acid concentrations were measured by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS), as described previously (51). Briefly, 50 ?l of plasma was spiked with heptadecanoate internal standard (ISTD) and analyzed with Applied Biosystems (Foster City, CA) API5000 mass spectrometer coupled with a Cohesive (Franklin, MA) TX2 liquid chromatography system. Concentration of individual FFA was measured against a six-point standard curve prepared for each analyte. Both the ISTD and individual FFA standard curves were prepared in 2% fatty acid-free human albumin solution. All analytes were monitored as their [M ? H]? ions. plasma LCFa-CoA esters were estimated using the LC-MS/MS method (9). After extraction in the presence of internal standard (20 ng of heptadecanoyl-CoA), samples were analyzed by UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS operating in multiple reaction monitoring mode [Waters Acquity UHPLC, C8 UPLC BEH column 2.1 × 150 mm, 1.7 ?m (Waters, Milford, MA) and TSQ Quantum Ultra triple-quad mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA)]. All standard curves were prepared using chemicals from Avanti Polar Lipids. |
