Study ID	ST003553
Study Title	Investigation of age-dependent changes in the gut of honeybee workers using targeted metabolomics for amino acid and biogenic amine determination
Study Summary	In the honeybee guts we measured the concentrations of 20 amino acids and 6 biogenic amines. Tryptophan and its downstream metabolite kynurenine followed the same trends across the worker development, with a significant decrease in their concentrations from day 3 onwards. Serotonin, on the other hand, was significantly increased from day 1. Tyramine and octopamine showed significant increases in concentrations (octopamine for all age groups apart from Day 1; tyramine for all age groups), while their precursor tyrosine showed significantly decreased concentrations for all age groups except experienced foragers.

Sample Preparation:

Sampleprep ID:	SP003689
Sampleprep Summary:	In brief, x mg pool gut was mixed with five times the volume (in µL) of acetonitrile (ACN):Water (1:1, v/v) and homogenized using a TissueLyser II (30 Hz, 10 min; Retsch Qiagen). After Centrifugation (2 min, 14000 rpm), 10 µL were used for amino acid derivatization. First, the supernatant was evaporated to dryness (SpeedVac, Eppendorf), resuspended in 50 µL of 5% phenyl isothiocyanate (PITC) in ethanol: H2O: pyridine (1:1:1, v/v/v), and incubated for 25 min at RT. Subsequently, the samples were dried to remove excess PITC and resuspended in 10 µL 5 mM ammonium acetate in methanol. After incubation (10 min at 14,000 rpm) 90 µL of H2O: ACN + 0.2% formic acid were added. Each derivative was measured in an undiluted and diluted (1:25) manner.
