ABSTRACT
Untargeted metabolomics with the combination of ion mobility separation coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry (IMS-HRMS) was applied to investigate the impact of resveratrol and pterostilbene supplementation on the metabolic fingerprint of the Wistar rats liver with induced liver steatosis. RP-LC and HILIC in both ionisation modes were employed to analyse the liver samples (n = 40) from Wistar rats fed with a high-fat and high-fructose diet, supplemented or not with resveratrol and pterostilbene. After univariate and multivariate statistical analysis, 34 metabolites were highlighted in the different diets and elucidated. Despite the structural similarity, different alterations in liver metabolism were observed by the supplementations. Resveratrol treatment was characterised by the alteration in metabolism of 17 lysophospholipids, while pterostilbene affected some vitamins and derivatives, among others. IMS has demonstrated great potential in the elucidation process thanks to the additional structural descriptor the CCS (Å2), providing more confidence in the identification.
