Brain metabolomics is an emerging field that complements the more traditional approaches of neuroscience. However, typical brain metabolomics workflows require that animals be sacrificed and tend to involve tedious sample preparation steps. Microdialysis, the standard technique to study brain metabolites in vivo, is encumbered by significant limitations -in the analysis of hydrophobic metabolites, which are prone to adsorption losses on microdialysis equipment. An alternative sampling method suitable for in vivo brain studies is solid-phase microextraction (SPME). In SPME, a small probe coated with a biocompatible polymer is employed to extract/enrich analytes from biological matrices. In this work, we report the use of SPME and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry for untargeted in vivo analysis of rodent's brains after deep brain stimulation (DBS). First, metabolite changes occurring in brain hippocampi after application of 3 h of DBS to the animals' prefrontal cortex were monitored with the proposed approach. As SPME allows for nonlethal sampling, the same group of animals was sampled again after 8 days of daily DBS therapy. After acute DBS, we detected changes in a broad range of metabolites, including the amino acid citrulline, which may reflect changes in nitric oxide production, as well as various phospho- and glycosphingolipids. Measurements conducted after chronic DBS showed a decrease in hippocampal corticosterone, indicating that DBS may have a regulatory effect in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Our findings demonstrate the potential of in vivo SPME as a tool of scientific and clinical interest capable of revealing changes in a wide range of metabolites in brain tissue.

Solid Phase Microextraction-Based Miniaturized Probe and Protocol for Extraction of Neurotransmitters from Brains in Vivo Lendor, Sofia; Hassani, Seyed-Alireza; Boyacı, Ezel; Singh, Varoon; Womelsdorf, Thilo; Pawliszyn, Janusz (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2019-04-02) Despite the importance of monitoring and correlating neurotransmitter concentrations in the brain with observable behavior and brain areas in which they act, in vivo measurement of multiple neurochemicals in the brain remains a challenge. Here, we propose an alternative solid phase microextraction-based (SPME) chemical biopsy approach as a viable method for acquirement of quantitative information on multiple neurotransmitters by one device within a single sampling event, with multisite measurement capabilit...
The effects of chronic hypoperfusion on rat cranial bone mineral and organic matrix - A Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy study Boyar, H; Zorlu, F; Mut, M; Severcan, Feride (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2004-06-01) Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) of the brain, errors in the development of the vasculature, produce high flow arteriovenous shunts. They steal blood from surrounding brain tissue, which is chronically hypoperfused. Hypoperfusion is a condition of inadequate tissue perfusion and oxygenation resulting in abnormal tissue metabolism. In the present study Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to investigate the effects of hypoperfusion on rat cranial bone mineral and organic matrix at the mol...
Investigation of Compositional, Structural, and Dynamical Changes of Pentylenetetrazol-Induced Seizures on a Rat Brain by FT-IR Spectroscopy Turker, Sevgi; İLBAY, GÜL; Severcan, Mete; Severcan, Feride (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2014-02-04) To accomplish the appropriate treatment strategies of epilepsy action mechanisms underlying epileptic seizures should be lightened. The identification of epileptic seizure-induced alterations on the brain related to their pathologies may provide information for its action mechanism. Therefore, the current study determined molecular consequences of seizures induced by pentylenetetrazol (PTZ), which is a widely used convulsant agent, on rat brain. The rats were administered subconvulsant (25 mg/kg) and convul...
Estimation of protein secondary structure from FTIR spectra using neural networks Severcan, M; Severcan, Feride; Haris, PI (Elsevier BV, 2001-05-30) Secondary structure of proteins have been predicted using neural networks (NN) from their Fourier transform infrared spectra. Leave-one-out approach has been used to demonstrate the applicability of the method. A form of cross-validation is used to train NN to prevent the overfitting problem. Multiple neural network outputs are averaged to reduce the variance of predictions. The networks realized have been tested and rms errors of 7.7% for alpha -helix, 6.4% for beta -sheet and 4.8% for turns have been achi...
DETERMINATION OF SELENIUM IN BIOLOGICAL MATRICES USING A KINETIC CATALYTIC METHOD GOKMEN, IG; ABDELQADER, E (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 1994-04-01) A simple and sensitive catalytic spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of selenium in biological matrices. The method is based on the catalytic effect of selenium on the reaction of Methylene Blue (MB) with sodium sulfide. For a given reaction between MB and sodium sulfide, the change in the MB absorbance with time was monitored, then the time (t) required for completion of the reaction was determined, and t(-1) was calculated. A plot of t(-1) versus selenium concentration constitute...
