Observable Metabolites and Metabolomic Sampling Protocols for Managed African Savanna Elephant (<i>Loxodonta africana</i>) Whole Blood Using H-NMR Spectroscopy

Observable Metabolites and Metabolomic Sampling Protocols for Managed African Savanna Elephant (<i>Loxodonta africana</i>) Whole Blood Using H-NMR Spectroscopy

We used nuclear magnetic spectroscopy (NMR) to evaluate the metabolomics of heparinized whole blood drawn from six African savanna elephants (<i>Loxodonta africana</i>) maintained on a well characterized diet. Whole blood samples obtained under behavioral restraint, then quickly frozen i...
