Sampleprep Summary:Seminal plasma were subjected to a comparative metabolomics analysis. For aquarium-housed individuals’ 7 samples of both types (Seminal plasma and peripheral blood plasma), were analysed to study the semi-polar and non-polar fractions. For wild-captured individuals’ 12 samples of both types (Seminal plasma and peripheral blood plasma), were analysed to study the semi-polar and non-polar fractions. For semi-polar analysis, metabolites were extracted from 100 μL of each Seminal plasma or peripheral blood plasma samples following a published method with a little modification (Y. Yu et al., 2021). Briefly, samples were dissolved in 200 μL of cold aqueous methanol (75 %), and 200 μL of acetronitrile (75 %), spiked with 10 μg/ml formononetin as internal standard. Then, the mixture was centrifugated at 20,000 xg for 15 min at 4 °C. The supernate (200 μL) was gained, and dried under low-temperature vacuum (Thermo Scientific, USA). The samples were redissolved resuspended with 100 μL of methanol (10 %) and transferred to HPLC tubes and an aliquot of 3 μL was injected for the analysis. For no-polar analysis, metabolites were extracted from 50 μL of each Seminal plasma or peripheral blood plasma samples following a published method with a little modification (Y. Yu et al., 2021). Briefly, samples were dissolved in 300 μL of cold aqueous methanol (100 %), spiked with 50 μg/ml alpha-tocopherol acetate as internal standard. Then, the mixture was swirled for 120 seconds, and 900 μL MTBE and 250 μL ultrapure water were added. After vortexed for 15 mins, the mixture was placed 30 min at 4 ℃. Then, the supernatants (900 μL) were gained, and dried under low-temperature vacuum (Thermo Scientific, USA). The samples were redissolved resuspended with 600 μL of acetonitrile–isopropanol mixture and transferred to HPLC tubes and an aliquot of 3 μL was injected for the analysis.
