Abstract:
Objective To observe the changes of metabolomics in the evolution process of blockade of heart vessel syndrome (BHVS). Methods The formation of BHVS in three stages were sim- ulated by using high-fat forage and ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery. Increased blood lipid was in the early stage of blood stasis syndrome (BSS) group. Atherosclerosis (AS) was formed in the middle stage of BSS group (sub-BSS). Coronary artery was ligated on the basis of AS was the 3rd stage of BSS (BHVS group). There were 8 rats in each group. Totally 24 rats was used as the blank con- trol group and each stage had 8 rats. The changes of metabolite contents were analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares method (PLS) with gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) among different groups. Results (1) In the 32 kinds of identified metabolites, citric acid was closest associated with the evolution process of BHVS, followed by cholesterol, inositol, ornithine, proline, isoleucine, octadecanoic acid, lactic acid, urea, leucine, linoleic acid, mannose. (2) Metabolic markers in the three stages: octadecanoic acid, lactic acid (positively correlated) , and mannose (negatively correlated) in the early stage of BSS. Ornithine, proline, inositol (positively correla- ted) , and isoleucine (negatively correlated) in the middle stage of BSS (sub-BSS). Leucine, isoleucine, citric acid (positively correlated) , and lactic acid (negatively correlated) in the BHVS stage. Conclusions High fat diet causes disordered in vivo lipid metabolism in pre-stage BSS, and the organism initiates anti- inflammation. Continued high fat diet leads to disordered urea cycle, imbalanced intestinal flora, changed vascular morphology, and liver dysfunction in the sub-BSS stage. Acute myocardial ischemia leads to glucose metabolism disorder in the BHVS stage.
