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 <i>A. domesticus</i>. Additionally, we performed a functional analysis of the lipids with significant differences using a recently developed database.
