Objective: To study the effect of hypothermia on metabolic compartmentalization in an animal model.
Methods: [1-(13)C] glucose, [2-(13)C] glucose, [3-(13)C] lactate, and [2-(13)C] acetate were infused into male Sprague-Dawley rats. The (13)C label was detected using (13)C-edited H magnetic resonance spectroscopy or (13)C magnetic resonance spectroscopy to determine the isotopic enrichment of both glutamate and glutamine. The infusion was carried out at either normothermia (37 degrees C) or hypothermia (31 degrees C).
Results: The [1-(13)C] glucose infusion during hypothermia resulted in decreased labeling of glutamate and glutamine consistent with decreased metabolism or the shunting of glucose through the pentose phosphate pathway. Unexpectedly, [2-(13)C] glucose infusion during hypothermia resulted in decreased labeling of glutamate but not glutamine, implying decreased neuronal but unaltered glial metabolism. The lactate and acetate infusion showed no temperature effect on labeling, indicating that the dampened neuronal metabolism occurred during glycolysis.
Conclusion: The results may explain the mechanism of action of hypothermia by differentially preserving the protective metabolism in glia while selectively dampening neuronal metabolism.

Spatial stable isotope tracing metabolic imaging is a cutting-edge technique designed to investigate tissue-specific metabolic functions and heterogeneity. Traditional matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) techniques often struggle with low coverage of low-molecular-weight (LMW) metabolites, which are often crucial for spatial metabolic studies. To address this, we developed a high-coverage spatial isotope tracing metabolic method that incorporates optimized matrix selection, sample preparation protocols, and enhanced post-ionization (MALDI2) techniques.

Diabetic encephalopathy (DE) is a neurological complication of diabetes marked by cognitive decline and complex metabolic disturbances. Salidroside (SAL), a natural compound with antioxidant and neuroprotective properties, has shown promise in alleviating diabetic complications. Exploring the spatial metabolic reprogramming in DE and elucidating SAL's metabolic effects are critical for deepening our understanding of its pathogenesis and developing effective therapeutic strategies.

In this investigation, the influence of organic amendment on the structural and functional dynamics of soil microbial communities and its effect on rice productivity were examined. Five fertilization treatments from a 40-year field experiment were selected： no fertilizer （CK）, inorganic NPK fertilizer （NPK）, inorganic NPK combined with green manure （NG）, inorganic NPK combined with green manure and pig manure （NGM）, and inorganic NPK combined with green manure and rice straw （NGS）. The findings revealed that the organic amendment enhanced the soil organic carbon （SOC）, total nitrogen （TN）, and total phosphorus （TP） levels, alongside an increase in rice yield； notably, the most significant improvements were observed with the NGM treatment.

Glutamate (Glu) is a crucial excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system that transmits brain information by activating excitatory receptors on neuronal membranes. Physiological studies have demonstrated that abnormal Glu metabolism in astrocytes is closely related to the pathogenesis of epilepsy. The astrocyte metabolism processes mainly involve the Glu uptake through astrocyte EAAT2, the Glu-glutamine (Gln) conversion, and the Glu release.

Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) enables the simultaneous noninvasive acquisition of MR spectra from multiple spatial locations inside the brain. Although H-MRSI is increasingly used in the human brain, it is not yet widely applied in the preclinical setting, mostly because of difficulties specifically related to very small nominal voxel size in the rat brain and low concentration of brain metabolites, resulting in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this context, we implemented a free induction decay H-MRSI sequence (H-FID-MRSI) in the rat brain at 14.
