| Study Title | Biomonitoring of (pseudo)pregnancy in giant panda urine using polar metabolomics |
| Study Summary | The physiological processes during (pseudo)pregnancy in giant pandas are poorly understood and diagnosis of actual pregnancy is only possible in the final 2-3 weeks of the cycle. Therefore, in this study, urine samples from different phases of the reproductive cycle of giant pandas were analyzed using a polar metabolomics approach. In total, five pregnant and seven pseudopregnant cycles were included. Each cycle was subdivided in six reproductive phases and three samples were selected per phase. The polar metabolomics approach was used to investigate differences in metabolism during the (pseudo)pregnant cycle to gain more information of underlying physiological processes and look for potential (early) pregnancy biomarkers. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences between pregnant and pseudopregnant females in amino acid (e.g. tryptophan) and energy metabolism, specifically during the stages before and around corpus luteum reactivation and embryo implantation. |

| Project Title: | Giant panda pregnancy metabolomics studies |
| Project Summary: | Monitoring and detection of pregnancy in giant pandas is hampered by phenomena such as delayed implantation and obligatory pseudopregnancy. Urine samples from different phases of the reproductive cycle of pregnant and pseudopregnant giant pandas were therefore analyzed with two UHPLC-HRMS-based methods: polar metabolomics and steroidomics. Discriminative differences were investigated to comprehense physiological differences and enable early discrimination between the two states. |

Collection:
| Collection ID: | CO003909 |
| Collection Summary: | All urine samples were collected either via aspiration from the concrete floor with a clean syringe in the absence of the animal or by direct urination in a small container (trained animals). After collection, the samples were transferred to a collection vial and stored at -20°C until shipment to the Laboratory of Integrative Metabolomics (LIMET) at Ghent University (Belgium). Before analysis, urinary specific gravity (USpG) was measured using a handheld digital refractometer designed for cat (PAL-USG (Cat), range 1.000-1.080, Atago™, Fukaya, Japan) or human urine (Pal-10S (Human), range 1.000-1.060, Atago™, Fukaya, Japan). The urine samples were collected during 6 phases of the reproductive cycle: anestrus (start of observations until cross-over between progestogens and estrogens, which marks the start of the pro-estrus), early corpus luteum dormancy phase (CLD1, following ovulation, variable length), middle corpus luteum dormancy phase (CLD2, starting ± 80 days prior to birth/end of the cycle), late corpus luteum dormancy phase (CLD3, starting ± 60 days prior to birth/end of the cycle), early active luteal phase (EAL, from start of secondary, more increased progesterone peak ± 42 days prior to birth/end of the cycle until PGFM peak), and late active luteal phase (LAL, post PGFM peak until birth/end of the cycle). |
| Sample Type: | Urine |
| Storage Conditions: | -20℃ |
Treatment:
| Treatment ID: | TR003925 |
| Treatment Summary: | No treatment. All samples were filtered by being transferred to a 15 mL Nunc® tube (Thermo Fisher Scientific, San José, California, USA) inserted with a small-sized disposable plastic funnel with a cotton-wool filter plug. |
Sample Preparation:
| Sampleprep ID: | SP003922 |
| Sampleprep Summary: | Samples were first centrifuged for 8 min at 1,000 g and 4°C followed by the collection of 50 µL of the supernatant in a 1.5-mL Eppendorf tube. Then, 130 µL UPW and 20 µL internal standard solution (10 ng µL-1 in UPW) were added. The diluted sample was vortexed for 30 sec after which 100 µL was transferred into a glass HPLC vial with insert. |
