Abstract
Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) is an essential intermediate metabolite that is involved in various vital biochemical reactions. However, achieving the direct and accurate quantification of PEP in plasma or serum poses a significant challenge owing to its strong polarity and metal affinity. In this study, a sensitive method for the direct determination of PEP in plasma and serum based on ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-facilitated hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was developed. Superior chromatographic retention and peak shapes were achieved using a zwitterionic stationary-phase HILIC column with a metal-inert inner surface. Efficient dechelation of PEP-metal complexes in serum/plasma samples was achieved through the introduction of EDTA, resulting in a significant enhancement of the PEP signal. A PEP isotopically labelled standard was employed as a surrogate analyte for the determination of endogenous PEP, and validation assessments proved the sensitivity, selectivity, and reproducibility of this method. The method was applied to the comparative quantification of PEP in plasma and serum samples from mice and rats, as well as in HepG2 cells, HEK293T cells, and erythrocytes; the results confirmed its applicability in PEP-related biomedical research. The developed method can quantify PEP in diverse biological matrices, providing a feasible opportunity to investigate the role of PEP in relevant biomedical research.

Abstract
Reducing monosaccharides and their phosphates are critical metabolites in the central carbon metabolism pathway of living organisms. Variations in their content can indicate abnormalities in metabolic pathways and the onset of certain diseases, necessitating their analysis and detection. Reducing monosaccharides and their phosphates exhibit significant variations in content within biological samples and are present in many isomers, which makes the accurate quantification of reducing monosaccharides and their phosphates in biological samples a challenging task. Various analytical methods such as spectroscopy, fluorescence detection, colorimetry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, sensor-based techniques, chromatography, and mass spectrometry are employed to detect monosaccharides and phosphates. In comparison, chromatography and mass spectrometry are highly favored for their ability to simultaneously analyze multiple components and their high sensitivity and selectivity. This review thoroughly evaluates the current chromatographic and mass spectrometric methods used for detecting reducing monosaccharides and their phosphates from 2013 to 2023, highlighting their efficacy and the advancements in these analytical technologies.

COMPARATIVE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY. PART D, GENOMICS & PROTEOMICS 2023; 47:101098.

Abstract
Hypoxia has become a common problem for aquatic organisms due to the interaction of global climate change and human activity. Black rockfish inhabits rocky reefs in waters of Japan, Korea and China, whereas the limited hypoxia tolerance leads to mass mortality and great economic loss. In this study, high-throughput RNA-seq for transcriptomic analysis was used to investigate the hepatic response in black rockfish under hypoxia (critical oxygen tension, Pcrit; loss of equilibrium, LOE) and reoxygenation (recover normal dissolved oxygen 24 h, R24) to explore the mechanisms underlying hypoxia tolerance and adaptation. A total of 573,040,410 clean reads and 299 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in total were obtained during hypoxia and reoxygenation. GO annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis demonstrated that the DEGs are mainly enriched in the biochemical metabolic pathways and HIF-1 signaling pathways. Transcriptomic analysis also identified 18 DEGs associated with HIF-1 signaling pathway (hif1α, tf, epo, hmox, gult1, mknk2, ldha, pfkfb3, hkdc, aldoa) and biological process (hif2α, apoeb, bcl6, mr1, errfi1, slc38a4, igfbp1a, ap4m1) as further validated by quantitative real-time PCR. Moreover, hif1α was positively or negatively correlated with glucose (ldha, pfkfb3, hkdc, aldoa) and lipid (apoeb) metabolism-related genes. The mRNA level of hif1α was significantly up-regulated under acute hypoxia stress and obtained the higher values than hif2α. Meanwhile, hif1α recognized the hypoxia response element located in the promoter of ldha and directly bound to the promoter to transactivate ldha expression. These results indicated that black rockfish may mainly utilize glycolysis to maintain homeostasis, and hif1α facilities hypoxia tolerance by modulating ldha expression.

Abstract
Dissolved oxygen (DO) is crucial for the survival of Chinese mitten crab (Eirocheir sinensis); low DO levels adversely affect the health of these crabs. In this study, we evaluated the underlying response mechanism of E. sinensis to acute hypoxic stress by analyzing antioxidant parameters, glycolytic indicators, and hypoxia signaling factors. The crabs were exposed to hypoxia for 0, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h and reoxygenated for 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h. The hepatopancreas, muscle, gill, and hemolymph were sampled at different exposure times to detect the biochemical parameters and gene expression. The results showed that the activity of catalase, antioxidants, and malondialdehyde in tissues significantly increased under acute hypoxia and gradually decreased during the reoxygenation phase. Under acute hypoxic stress, glycolysis indices, including hexokinase (HK), phosphofructokinase, pyruvate kinase (PK), pyruvic acid (PA), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), lactic acid (LA), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), glucose, and glycogen in the hepatopancreas, hemolymph, and gills increased to varying degrees but recovered to the control levels after reoxygenation. Gene expression data showed that hypoxia signaling pathway-related genes, including hypoxia-inducible factor-1α/β (HIF1α/β), prolyl hydroxylase (PHD), factor inhibiting hypoxia-inducible factor (FIH), and glycolysis-related factors (HK and PK) were upregulated, showing that the HIF signaling pathway was activated under hypoxic conditions. In conclusion, acute hypoxic exposure activated the antioxidant defense system, glycolysis, and HIF pathway to respond to adverse conditions. These data contribute to elucidating the defense and adaptive mechanisms of crustaceans to acute hypoxic stress and reoxygenation.

Animals (Basel) 2023; 13:ani13030486. [PMID: 36766375 PMCID: PMC9913405 DOI: 10.3390/ani13030486] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2022] [Revised: 01/08/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2023] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this trial was to assess whether the supplementation of vitamin E (VE) in high-concentrate diets could improve the fermentation and blood metabolism in the rumen of dairy cows, thereby modulating the degree of the subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) response and improving the performance. Seven Holstein cows (four fitted with ruminal cannulas) were fed three diets (total mixed rations) during three successive periods (each lasted for 18 d): (1) the control diet (CON); (2) a high-grain (HG) diet, which was the control diet supplied with a 15% finely ground wheat diet (FGW); and (3) a high-VE diet (HGE), which was the control diet provided with a 15% FGW and 12,000 IU of VE/head per day. The results indicated that VE was able to alleviate the reduction in the dry matter intake (DMI) and milk fat yield in cows caused by HG diets. The supplementation of VE significantly reduced the levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), histamine (HIS), and the total volatile fatty acid (TVFA) in the rumen. The supplementation of VE observably increased the antioxidant capacity of the milk and plasma. In addition, VE markedly reduced the plasma levels of endotoxin, HIS, and pro-inflammatory factors. The supplementation of VE significantly enriched the differential metabolites of the purine metabolism, cysteine, methionine metabolism, and ABC transporter synthesis pathway in the serum. The supplementation of VE also significantly increased the relative abundance of Succiniclasticum and decreased the relative abundance of Treponema, thus reducing the production of TVFA in the rumen. In conclusion, considering that the cows in this trial had high ketone levels (BHBA > 2.3 mmol/L), we found that VE could improve the rumen fermentation and blood metabolism by modulating the relative abundance of rumen microorganisms, thereby mitigating a range of adverse effects caused by SARA.

Abstract
In metabolism, molecular oxygen is a necessary substrate. Oxygen imbalances are linked to a variety of circumstances in the organism's homeostasis. Recently, the positive effects of hypoxia treatment in improving exercise ability and hypoxia tolerance have become a research focus. We explored the effects of intermittent hypoxia exposure (IHE, for one hour or three hours per day) on the hypoxia tolerance of largemouth bass in this study. The results showed that (1) IHE significantly reduced the LOEcrit (the critical O2 tension for loss of equilibrium) value of largemouth bass, indicating that its hypoxia tolerance was enhanced. (2) The level of oxidative stress in the liver decreased in the HH3 group (exposed to a hypoxic condition for 3 h per day) compared to HH1 group (exposed to a hypoxic condition for 1 h per day). (3) IHE reduced the content of lactic acid and enhanced the process of gluconeogenesis in the liver. (4) Importantly, lipid mobilization and fatty acid oxidation in the liver of largemouth bass were significantly enhanced during IHE. In short, the results of this study indicate that IHE can improve hypoxia tolerance by regulating the energy metabolism of largemouth bass.

Abstract
Considering the chemical complexity and toxicity data gaps of environmental mixtures, most studies evaluate the chemical risk individually. However, humans are usually exposed to a cocktail of chemicals in real life. Mixture health assessment remains to be a research area having significant knowledge gaps. Characterization of chemical composition and bioactivity/toxicity are the two critical aspects of mixture health assessments. This review seeks to introduce the recent progress and tools for the chemical and biological characterization of environmental mixtures. The state-of-the-art techniques include the sampling, extraction, rapid detection methods, and the in vitro, in vivo, and in silico approaches to generate the toxicity data of an environmental mixture. Application of these novel methods, or new approach methodologies (NAMs), has increased the throughput of generating chemical and toxicity data for mixtures and thus refined the mixture health assessment. Combined with computational methods, the chemical and biological information would shed light on identifying the bioactive/toxic components in an environmental mixture.

Transcriptome Analysis Provides Insights into Hepatic Responses to Trichloroisocyanuric Acid Exposure in Goldfish ( Carassius auratus). Animals (Basel) 2021; 11:ani11102775. [PMID: 34679797 PMCID: PMC8532840 DOI: 10.3390/ani11102775] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2021] [Revised: 09/13/2021] [Accepted: 09/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) has been widely used in public health and aquaculture for the prevention and treatment of diseases. As a strong oxidative disinfectant, TCCA may cause adverse influences on aquatic organisms and further poses a threat to the aquatic ecosystems. Nonetheless, the toxicological influences of TCCA on aquatic animals are still scarce and the mechanisms of the toxicity at the molecular levels in goldfish (Carassius auratus) have not been illustrated. The current study investigated the influences of sublethal concentration of TCCA on transcriptomic responses, the molecular indices of oxidative stress, and histopathological alterations in the hepatic and gill tissues of goldfish. The results indicated that TCCA exposure induced the disturbance of energy metabolism and the detoxification process. Furthermore, TCCA exposure also induced oxidative stress in the liver and caused pathological damage in gills. These findings could be useful to help understand the toxicological influences of TCCA on goldfish. Abstract In this study, goldfish (Carassius auratus) were exposed to 0 (control group) and 0.81 mg/L TCCA for four consecutive days. The liver transcriptome, the molecular indices of oxidative stress, and gills histopathology were investigated. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis indicated that energy metabolism-related pathways such as glycolysis/gluconeogenesis were significantly enriched, suggesting their perturbation in the liver of goldfish. Additionally, TCCA exposure also caused pathological damage in gills, which compromised physiological function and decreased oxygen intake capacity of gills, thus leading to the enhancement of anaerobic metabolism. This finding was confirmed by the significant upregulation of lactate dehydrogenase in the liver of goldfish. Moreover, many phase I and phase II metabolic enzymes might be activated to alleviate TCCA-induced toxicity in goldfish, and glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) and cytochrome P450s (CYPs) play a crucial role in the metabolism of TCCA in the liver of goldfish. Furthermore, the antioxidant enzyme analysis showed that TCCA exposure induced oxidative damage in the liver and partially impaired the antioxidant defense system of goldfish, evidenced by decreased superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), and increased malondialdehyde (MDA) level. In summary, this study will improve our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of the TCCA-induced toxicity in goldfish.

Abstract
Hypoxia is one of the most significant threats to biodiversity in aquatic systems. The ability of high-latitude fish to tolerate hypoxia with histological and physiological responses is mostly unknown. We address this knowledge gap by investigating the effects of exposures to different oxygen levels using Phoxinus lagowskii (a high-latitude, cold-water fish) as a model. Fish were exposed to different oxygen levels (0.5 mg/L and 3 mg/L) for 24 h. The loss of equilibrium (LOE), an indicator of acute hypoxia tolerance, was 0.21 ± 0.01 mg/L, revealing the ability of fish to tolerate low-oxygen conditions. We sought to determine if, in P. lagowskii, the histology of gills and liver, blood indicators, enzyme activities of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, and antioxidants changed to relieve stress in response to acute hypoxia. Notably, changes in vigorous jumping behavior under low oxygen revealed the exceptional hypoxia acclimation response compared with other low-latitude fish. A decrease in blood parameters, including RBC, WBC, and Hb, as well as an increase in MCV was observed compared to the controls. The increased total area in lamella and decreased ILCM volume in P. lagowskii gills were detected in the present study. Our results also showed the size of vacuoles in the livers of the hypoxic fish shrunk. Interestingly, an increase in the enzyme activity of lipid metabolism but not glucose metabolism was observed in the groups exposed to hypoxia at 6 h and 24 h. After combining histology and physiology results, our findings provide evidence that lipid metabolism plays a crucial role in enhancing hypoxia acclimation in P. lagowskii. Additionally, SOD activity significantly increased during hypoxia, suggesting the presence of an antioxidant response of P. lagowskii during hypoxia. High expression levels of lipogenesis and lipolysis-related genes were detected in the 6 h 3 mg/L and 24 h 3 mg/L hypoxia group. Enhanced expression of lipid-metabolism genes (ALS4, PGC-1, and FASN) was detected during hypoxia exposure. Together, these data suggest that P. lagowskii's ability to tolerate hypoxic events is likely mediated by a comprehensive strategy.

Abstract
Hypoxia can lead to adverse effects on growth, reproduction, behavioral activities and survival in fish, and is one of the most critical factors in the aquatic environment. The liver is an important target organ for reducing toxin accumulation and hypoxia in fish. In this study, silver sillago (Sillago sihama) was exposed to normoxia (dissolved oxygen, DO = 8.0 mg/L), hypoxia for 1 h (hypoxia 1 h, DO = 1.5 mg/L), hypoxia for 4 h (hypoxia 4 h, DO = 1.5 mg/L) and reoxygenation for 4 h after hypoxia 4 h (reoxygenation 4 h, DO = 8.0 mg/L). Results showed that the expression of 506, 1721, and 1230 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (|log2(fold change) > 1.0| and padj < 0.05) were identified at hypoxia 1 h, hypoxia 4 h, and reoxygenation 4 h in the liver, respectively. The enrichment analysis showed that the DEGs were significantly enriched in metabolic and translation changes pathways, including mapk signaling pathway, p53 signaling pathway, fatty acid metabolism, protein export, ribosome biogenesis in eukaryotes. The DEGs of 17 genes validated the RNA-seq results by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the transcriptional changes that occur in different hypoxia and insights into the mechanisms of hypoxia adaptation of the liver in S. sihama.

Acute hypoxia changes the mode of glucose and lipid utilization in the liver of the largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 713:135157. [PMID: 31836235 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.135157] [Citation(s) in RCA: 48] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2019] [Revised: 10/02/2019] [Accepted: 10/22/2019] [Indexed: 05/12/2023]
Abstract
Dissolved oxygen (DO) undountedly affects fish distribution, metabolism, and evern survival. Intensive aquaculture and environmental changes will inevitably lead to hypoxic stress for largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). The different metabolic responses and mechanism still remains relatively unknown during acute hypoxia exposure. In this study, largemouth bass were subjected to hypoxic stress (3.0 ± 0.2 mg/L and 1.2 ± 0.2 mg/L) for 24 h and 12 h reoxygenation to systemically evaluate indicators of glucose and lipid metabolism. A regulatory network was constructed using RNA-seq to further elucidate the transcriptional regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism. During hypoxia for 4 h, the liver glycogen, glucose and pyruvic acid contents significantly decreased, whereas plasma glucose content and liver lactic acid content increased significantly. The accumulation of liver triglycerides and non-esterified fatty acids was enhanced during hypoxia for 8 h. The activity of key enzymes revealed the different metabolic responses to hypoxia exposure for 4 h, including the enhancement of glycolysis, and inhibition of gluconeogenesis. Furthermore, hypoxia exposure for 8 h increased lipid mobilization, and inhibited the β-oxidation. In addition, an integrated regulatory network of 9 major pathways involved in the response to hypoxia exposure was constructed, including HIF signaling pathway, VEGF signaling pathway, AMPK signaling pathway, insulin signaling pathway and PPAR signaling pathway; glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, pyruvate metabolism, fatty acid degradation and fatty acid biosynthesis. Additionally, reoxygenation inhibited glycolysis, and promoted gluconeogenesis and lipid oxidation, but energy deficits persisted. In short, although the mobilization and activation of fatty acid in liver were enhanced in the early stage of hypoxia, glycolysis was the main energy source under acute hypoxia. The extent and duration of hypoxia determine the degree of change in energy metabolism.

Abstract
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a toxic gas and one of the air pollutants of great concern. High-concentrated H2S can induce energy metabolism disturbance and apoptosis. However, the mechanism of H2S-induced liver injuries is unknown. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the main component of endotoxin, can cause fulminant hepatitis. Here, we evaluated the effects of H2S combined with LPS on the energy metabolism and apoptosis pathway in the liver using a one-day-old chicken as a model. Our results showed that the expression levels of energy metabolism-related genes (AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), aconitase 2 (ACO2), hexokinase1 (HK1), hexokinase 2 (HK2), lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB), phosphofructokinase (PFK), pyruvate kinase (PK) and succinate dehydrogenase B (SDHB)) tended to decrease, that the status of apoptosis increased, and that the expression levels of apoptosis-related genes (caspase3, BCL2, and bax) increased in H2S group, suggesting that H2S exposure disturbed the energy metabolism in the liver and induced hepatocyte apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway. In addition, H2S combined with the LPS aggravated the level of energy metabolism disorders and apoptosis, indicating that H2S inhalation-induced energy metabolism disturbance is involved in LPS-mediated hepatocyte apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway.

Abstract
YhdE is a Maf (multicopy associated filamentation) proteins from Escherichia coli which exhibits pyrophosphatase activity towards selected nucleotides, although its catalytic mechanism remains unclear. Herein we used a novel fluorescence probe (4-isoACBA–Zn(II) complex) to characterize the enzymatic properties of YhdE and its mutant, establishing a new method for assaying pyrophosphatase catalytic function. Our results reveal for the first time that the new fluorescence sensor confers high sensitivity and specificity and pyrophosphate (PPi) is the direct catalytic product of YhdE. Crystal structures of a mutant in the active-site loop (YhdE_E33A) show conformational flexibility implicated in the catalytic mechanism of YhdE. ITC experiments and computational docking further reveal that Asp70 and substrate dTTP coordinate Mn2+. Quantum mechanics calculations indicate that YhdE hydrolysis appears to follow a stepwise pathway in which a water molecule first attacks the α-phosphorus atom in the substrate, followed by the release of PPi from the pentavalent intermediate.

Abstract
Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) is a widely used analytical technique for rapid molecular separations in the gas phase. Though IMS alone is useful, its coupling with mass spectrometry (MS) and front-end separations is extremely beneficial for increasing measurement sensitivity, peak capacity of complex mixtures, and the scope of molecular information available from biological and environmental sample analyses. In fact, multiple disease screening and environmental evaluations have illustrated that the IMS-based multidimensional separations extract information that cannot be acquired with each technique individually. This review highlights three-dimensional separations using IMS-MS in conjunction with a range of front-end techniques, such as gas chromatography, supercritical fluid chromatography, liquid chromatography, solid-phase extractions, capillary electrophoresis, field asymmetric ion mobility spectrometry, and microfluidic devices. The origination, current state, various applications, and future capabilities of these multidimensional approaches are described in detail to provide insight into their uses and benefits.

Abstract
Oxygen is a vital element in aquatic environments. The concentration of oxygen to which aquatic organisms are exposed is influenced by salinity, water temperature, weather, and surface water runoff. Hypoxia has a serious effect on fish populations, and can lead to the loss of habitat and die-offs. Therefore, in the present study we used next-generation sequencing technology to characterize the transcriptomes of Pelteobagrus vachelli and identified 70 candidate genes in the HIF-1 signaling pathway that are important for the hypoxic response in all metazoan species. For the first time, the present study reported the effects of acute hypoxia and reoxygenation on oxygen sensors, respiratory metabolism, and hematology indices in P. vachelli. The predicted physiological adjustments show that P. vachelli's blood oxygen-carrying capacity was increased through increased RBC, HB, and SI after hypoxia exposure. Glycolysis-related enzyme activities (PFK, HK, and PK) and LDH in the brain and liver also increased, indicating a rise in anaerobic metabolism. The observed reduction in oxidative enzyme level (CS) in the liver during hypoxia suggests a concomitant depression in aerobic metabolism. There were significant increases in oxygen sensor mRNA expression and HIF-1α protein expression during hypoxia and reoxygenation exposure, suggesting that the HIF-1 signaling pathway was activated in the liver and brain of P. vachelli in response to acute hypoxia and reoxygenation. Our findings suggest that oxygen sensors (e.g., HIF-1α) of P. vachelli are potentially useful biomarkers of environmental hypoxic exposure. These data contribute to a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of the hypoxia signaling pathway in fish under hypoxia and reoxygenation.

Abstract
The critical node (CN), which is the transition from the plateau phase to the rapid decreasing phase of seed ageing, is extremely important for seed conservation. Although numerous studies have investigated the oxidative stress during seed ageing, information on the changes in protein abundance at the CN is limited. In this study, we aimed to investigate the abundance and carbonylation patterns of proteins at the CN of seed ageing in rice. The results showed that the germination rate of seeds decreased by less than 20% at the CN; however, the abundance of 112 proteins and the carbonylation levels of 68 proteins markedly changed, indicating oxidative damage. The abundance and activity of mitochondrial, glycolytic, and pentose phosphate pathway proteins were reduced; consequently, this negatively affected energy production and germination. Proteins related to defense, including antioxidant system and heat shock proteins, also reduced in abundance. Overall, energy metabolism was reduced at the CN, leading to a decrease in the antioxidant capacity, whereas seed storage proteins were up-regulated and carbonylated, indicating that the seed had a lower ability to utilize seed storage proteins for germination. Thus, the significant decrease in metabolic activities at the CN might accelerate the loss of seed viability.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry has become a choice method for broad-spectrum metabolite analysis in both fundamental and applied research. This can range from comprehensive analysis achieved through time-consuming chromatography to the rapid analysis of a few target metabolites without chromatography. In this review article, we highlight current high-throughput MS-based platforms and their potential application in metabolomics. Although current MS platforms can reach throughputs up to 0.5 seconds per sample, the metabolite coverage of these platforms are low compared to low-throughput, separation-based MS methods. High-throughput comes at a cost, as it's a trade-off between sample throughput and metabolite coverage. As we will discuss, promising emerging technologies, including microfluidics and miniaturization of separation techniques, have the potential to achieve both rapid and more comprehensive metabolite analysis.
