Study ID	ST001666
Study Title	Branched-chain alpha-ketoacids are preferentially reaminated and activate protein synthesis in the mouse heart
Study Summary	Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) and their cognate α-ketoacids (BCKA) are elevated in an array of cardiometabolic diseases. Here we demonstrate that sequestration of BCAA and BCKA away from mitochondrial oxidation is likely due to low levels of expression of the mitochondrial BCAA transporter SLC25A44 in the heart, as its overexpression significantly lowers accumulation of [13C]-labeled valine from [U-13C]KIV.

Sample Preparation:

Sampleprep ID:	SP001749
Sampleprep Summary:	Frozen tissues were pulverized under liquid nitrogen using a mortar and pestle. Metabolites were then extracted using sequential 500 μL additions of -20°C MeOH, chilled water, and chloroform. After each addition, tissue lysates were prepared with a Tissue Lyser (Qiagen) for 60 seconds at 30Hz. Similarly, plasma metabolites (20 μL) were extracted by sequential 500 μL additions of -20°C MeOH, chilled water, and chloroform. After each addition, samples were vortexed for 30 seconds. Tissue extracts were then centrifuged at 4°C and 14400 x g for 20 minutes and the clarified aqueous phase was transferred to a fresh Eppendorf and stored in -80°C until processing for GC-MS analysis. For GC-MS analysis, the extracted tissue was dried under N2 gas-flow at 37°C using an evaporator. Amino and organic acids were derivatized via methoximation and silylation. Briefly, metabolites were resuspended in 25 μL of methoxylamine hydrochloride (2% (w/v) in pyridine) and incubated at 40°C for 90 minutes on a heating block. After brief centrifugation, 35 μL of MTBSTFA + 1% TBDMS was added and the samples were incubated at 60°C for 30 minutes.
