Comparative metabolomic analysis reveals sex differences and heat stress responses in germ cells of Sipunculus nudus

Key Points

• Sex differences in germ cells were observed under heat stress conditions, highlighting potential biological implications.
• The study identified significant metabolomic variations between male and female germ cells during heat stress exposure.
• Assessment through comparative metabolomic analysis explored the biochemical adaptions of Sipunculus nudus under stress environments.
• Understanding these responses may enable improved management of reproductive health in marine organisms under climate change.
