Abstract
Current metabolomics technologies can measure hundreds of chemical entities in tissue extracts with good reliability. However, long-recognized requirements to halt enzyme activities during the initial moments of sample preparation are usually overlooked, allowing marked postmortem shifts in levels of labile metabolites representing diverse pathways. In brain many such changes occur in a matter of seconds. These comments overview the concern, contrast representative studies, and specify approaches to consider as standards in the field going forward. Comparison with established metabolite signatures of in vivo brain is an essential validation step when implementing any collection method.
期刊介绍：
JCBFM is the official journal of the International Society for Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism, which is committed to publishing high quality, independently peer-reviewed research and review material. JCBFM stands at the interface between basic and clinical neurovascular research, and features timely and relevant research highlighting experimental, theoretical, and clinical aspects of brain circulation, metabolism and imaging. The journal is relevant to any physician or scientist with an interest in brain function, cerebrovascular disease, cerebral vascular regulation and brain metabolism, including neurologists, neurochemists, physiologists, pharmacologists, anesthesiologists, neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons, neuropathologists and neuroscientists.
