Sampleprep Summary: | Sample preparation: Samples were shipped to Metabolon for processing and prepared for metabolomics as previously described. Briefly, an equivalent amount serum (100µl) on a per sample basis was prepared using the automated MicroLab STAR® system from Hamilton Company. For QC purposes, a recovery standard was added prior to the first step in the extraction process. To remove protein, dissociate small molecules bound to protein or trapped in the precipitated protein matrix, and to recover chemically diverse metabolites, proteins were first precipitated with methanol under vigorous shaking for 2 min (Glen Mills GenoGrinder 2000) followed by centrifugation. The resulting extract was divided into five fractions as follows. One fraction was used for analysis by UPLC-MS/MS with positive ion mode electrospray ionization. Another fraction was used for analysis by UPLC-MS/MS with negative ion mode electrospray ionization. The third and fourth fractions were used for LC polar platform, and for analysis by GC-MS. The final fraction was reserved as a backup. Samples were placed briefly on a TurboVap® (Zymark) to remove the organic solvent. For LC, the samples were stored overnight under nitrogen before preparation for analysis. For GC, each sample was dried under vacuum overnight before preparation for analysis. |
