[PMID: 37451048 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbd.2023.101109] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2023] [Revised: 06/11/2023] [Accepted: 06/28/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
Apostichopus japonicus is a marine invertebrate with high economic value. Analysis of the effects of age on the structure of this species is important for understanding the status of the population and conservation. In this study, metabolite analysis of the body walls of A. japonicus of three different ages (1, 2, and 3 years) was performed using LC-MS/MS. Metabolite analysis was performed for the KEGG metabolic pathway. The partial least squares-discriminant analysis is clearly distinguished metabolites in the three groups of A. japonicus. A total of 59, 222, and 179 different metabolites were detected in the age 3 vs age 2, age 3 vs age 1, and age 2 vs age 1 controls, respectively (P < 0.05). These metabolic differences involved several metabolic pathways, including phenylalanine metabolism, taurine and hypotaurine metabolism, sulfur metabolism et al. Thiamin, riboflavin, lipoic acid, acetyl l-carnitine levels increase with age, trans-10-heptadecenoic acid, stearic acid, pentadecanoic acid, dibutyl sebacate, and 8,15-diHETE levels decrease with age, which these metabolites can be used as potential markers to determine the age of A. japonicus. Our results provide the foundation for determining the age of A. japonicus and are important for the conservation of germplasm resources of A. japonicus.

Abstract
Testosterone, as an influential factor in marbling score, requires strict management for uniform development of adipocytes in-between muscle bundles. Present study investigated effect of castration timing and testosterone levels on adipocyte development using SVCs. Isolated SVCs exhibited classical MSC markers, CD31-, CD34-, CD45-, CD90+, and CD105+. ELISA analysis indicated that serum testosterone concentration was highest in non-castrated calves while no significant difference was observed between female, early and late castrated calves. CCK-8 assay showed that concentration of testosterone had no effect on cell proliferation. However, the real-time PCR demonstrated that 20 ng/ml of testosterone suppressed expression of preadipocyte markers, pref-1 and zfp423, but encouraged expression of myoblast markers, myf5 and myoD, via the AR. Consequently, expression of adipogenic markers C/EBPα and PPARγ, as well as accumulation of triglyceride, were decreased in 20 ng/ml testosterone treatment under adipogenic conditions. These findings suggest that by castrating calves before level of testosterone increases, may improve marbling development in the Hanwoo beef industry.

Abstract
Currently, no analytical method is available to demonstrate progesterone administration in biological samples collected in rearing animals, and therefore, tracking the abuse of this popular growth promoter is arduous. In this study, a method is presented to reveal progesterone (PG) treatment on the basis of carbon isotope measurement of 5β-pregnane-3α, 20α-diol (BAA-PD), a major PG metabolite excreted in bovine urine, by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/combustion/isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC-MS/C/IRMS). 5-Androstene-3β,17α-diol (AEdiol) is used as endogenous reference compound. Intermediate precisions (n=11) of 0.56‰ and 0.68‰ have been determined for AEdiol and BAA-PD, respectively. The analytical method was used for the very first time to successfully differentiate urine samples collected in treated and untreated animals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Following its secretion mainly by the adrenal glands, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) acts primarily in the cells/tissues which express the enzymes catalyzing its intracellular conversion into sex steroids by the mechanisms of intracrinology. Although reliable assays of endogenous serum steroids are now available using mass spectrometry (MS)-based technology, sample preparation from tissue matrices remains a challenge. This is especially the case with high lipid-containing tissues such as the brain. With the combination of a UPLC system with a sensitive tandem MS, it is now possible to measure endogenous unconjugated steroids in monkey brain tissue. METHODS A Shimadzu UPLC LC-30AD system coupled to a tandem MS AB Sciex Qtrap 6500 system was used. RESULTS The lower limits of quantifications are achieved at 250 pg/mL for DHEA, 200 pg/mL for 5-androstenediol (5-diol), 12 pg/mL for androstenedione (4-dione), 50 pg/mL for testosterone (Testo), 10 pg/mL for dihydrotestosterone (DHT), 4 pg/mL for estrone (E1) and 1 pg/mL for estradiol (E2). The linearity and accuracy of quality controls (QCs) and endogenous quality controls (EndoQCs) are according to the guidelines of the regulatory agencies for all seven compounds. CONCLUSION We describe a highly sensitive, specific and robust LC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous measurement of seven unconjugated steroids in monkey brain tissue. The single and small amount of sample required using a relatively simple preparation method should be useful for steroid assays in various peripheral tissues and thus help analysis of the role of locally-made sex steroids in the regulation of specific physiological functions.

Abstract
The endogenous occurrence of natural hormones obstructs the application of classical targeted methods as confirmatory options. In the case of estradiol, the ultimate confirmation of its exogenous administration relies on gas chromatography coupled to combustion/isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GC-C/IRMS). A serum dipeptide composed of pyroglutamic acid and phenylalanine was identified as a potential biomarker of estradiol treatments in adult cows. To evaluate its potential to pinpoint suspicious samples, samples from prepubertal females under different estrogenic treatments have been analyzed. The results confirmed the up-regulation of the dipeptide in adult bovines. The 2-week-old females exhibited short-lasting responses only in a few animals. The 6-month-old female showed a delayed but clear increase on the biomarker level. The composition of the anabolic preparations, the dose, and/or the administration route are possible additional reasons for the reduced response in young animals. A comparison to previous results reported by various researchers is included.

Abstract
A novel analytical method employing solid-phase extraction (SPE) coupled with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was developed for the simultaneous determination of 30 hormones in anti-ageing functional foods (capsules, powders and tablets). The analytes were extracted with acetic acid-acetonitrile (1-99 v/v), methanol and acetone, respectively. The extract was purified using a combined column, followed by analyte detection with electrospray ionisation in positive- or negative-ion modes. The results indicated that the 30 compounds had good linear correlations in the range of 1-1000 μg kg⁻¹, and the correlation coefficients were above 0.99. The limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ) were 0.03-2 and 0.1-5 μg kg⁻¹, respectively. The average recovery of 30 compounds at the three spiked levels varied from 74.7% to 124.1%, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was 2.4-15.0%. This method was applied to the analysis of hormones in 14 real samples of which seven hormones (such as estrone, dienestrol) were detected in four samples, but the remainder of the hormones were not detected. The developed method is sensitive, efficient, reliable and applicable to real samples.
