[Metabonomic analysis of the urine from rat model with abnormal sapra syndrome]

To investigate the correlation between the change in metabolic components of urine and the abnormal sapra syndrome by using a rat model of abnormal sapra syndrome.
 Methods: Multiple factors, such as dry environment, dry feed, and chronic electrical stimulation, were used to establish the abnormal sapra syndrome in Wistar rats by Uyghur medicine. The differences in metabolites were detected through the metabonomics method.
 Results: The urine of rats in abnormal sapra syndrome group showed significant high abundance metabolites as follows: Leucine, isoleucine, and glycoprotein. And that significant low abundance metabolites as follows: Glutamine, creatine, citric acid, and phenylalanine.
 Conclusion: The urine of rats with the abnormal sapra syndrome displays abnormal energy metabolism. It is likely that the dysfunctional metabolisms of three major nutrients might be the molecular basis for the abnormal sapra syndrome.
