Metabolipidomic profiling of white adipose tissue by UPLC-MS/MS
Rombaldová, Martina
Obesity is a serious problem in society today [1,2]. It might seems to have been caused simply by excess consumption of food compared to energy expenditure but obesity is actually a complex metabolic disorder centred on adipose lipid metabolism and cellular signalling systems linked to it [3]. Understanding the biology of adipose tissue (AT) is very important for the identification of novel and potential therapeutic targets in order to prevent and treat obesity-related disorders [4]. We utilized analytical approach liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to study adipose tissue metabolism. Also, we were especially interested in the effect of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on that metabolism. Rodent and cell line experiments were performed and analyses were done of white adipose tissue (WAT), serum/plasma samples or cells as well as milk samples from mothers. At first, we established several ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) methods for analysis of acylcarnitines (AC), amino acids (AmA) and other metabolites. Importantly, these methods were able to distinguish isobaric species of AC which is not usually possible. Using these approaches we uncovered several acylcarnitines, i.e. long chain AC, carnitine, acylcarnitine C4 and...

Metabolom rostlin a jeho proměny v reakci na stres
Dobešová, Markéta
Adverse environmental effects have a significant impact on plants' life and influ-ence the plants' metabolome. Specific stress-related responses are manifested both on plant development and its metabolites. This thesis entitled "Plant metabolome and its response to stress" outlines the composition of plant metabolome and reviews stress-related metabolites and metabolomics processes. The experimental part summarizes the results of two independent experiments. First, Hordeum vulgare response to stress was followed via targeted LC-MS metabolomics and proteome analysis. Next, a drought response was analyzed in Solanum lycopersicum via GC-MS metabolome profiling. Results highlighted a tissue-specific response to stress and pinpointed several putative abiotic stress markers
