BACKGROUND: Stool metabolites provide essential insights into the function of the gut microbiome. The current gold standard for storage of stool samples for metabolomics is flash-freezing at - 80 °C which can be inconvenient and expensive. Ambient temperature storage of stool is ...
Temperature is a critical environmental factor influencing fish physiology. Eleutheronema tetradactylum is an economically important warm-water species, but its response to long-term cold stress remains unclear. In this study, we exposed juvenile fish to 18 °C for 7 and 14 days and investigated h...
In order to study the effect of probiotic intervention on short-chain fatty acids in irradiated mice, we collected feces, blood, and brain tissues from irradiated mice. The content of short-chain fatty acids was determined by High Performance Liquid Chromatography-mass spectrum. Further investiga...
Optimal handling is the most important means to ensure adequate sample quality. We aimed to investigate whether pre-centrifugation delay time and temperature could be accurately predicted and to what extent variability induced by pre-centrifugation management can be adjusted for. We used untarget...
