Inferring physiological changes induced by diet composition and social environment at the organism-level through lipidomics analysis using an omnivorous insect as a model organism

We measured relative abundances of 811 lipid
species in whole-body cricket samples using flow injection analysis coupled to
tandem mass spectrometry. We assessed differences in the relative abundances of
lipid species induced by diet composition and social environment in female and
male A. domesticus. Additionally, we performed a functional analysis of
the lipids with significant differences using a recently developed database.
