Description
Summary:The administration of low doses of D O to living organisms was used for decades for the investigation of metabolic pathways and for the measurement of the turnover rate for specific compounds. Usually, the investigation of the deuterium uptake in lipids is performed by measuring the deuteration level of the palmitic acid residue using GC-MS instruments, and to our knowledge, the application of the modern untargeted LC-MS/MS lipidomics approaches was only reported a few times. Here, we investigated the deuterium uptake for >500 lipids for 13 organs and body liquids of mice (brain, lung, heart, liver, kidney, spleen, plasma, urine, etc.) after 4 days of 100% D O administration. The maximum deuteration level was observed in the liver, plasma, and lung, while in the brain and heart, the deuteration level was lower. Using MS/MS, we demonstrated the incorporation of deuterium in palmitic and stearic fragments in lipids (PC, PE, TAG, PG, etc.) but not in the corresponding free forms. Our results were analyzed based on the metabolic pathways of lipids.
