Biomarkers of Exposure to Toxic Substances: Volume 4: Metabonomics Biomarkers to Liver and Organ Damage
Abstract
In this study we examined the urinary metabolite profiles from rats following a single exposure to the kidney toxicants D-serine, puromycin, hippuric acid and amphotericin B at various doses, and as a function of time post-dose. In toxicology, such dose-time metabonomics studies are important for an accurate determination of the severity of biological effects, and for biomarker identification that may be associated with toxicity. The metabonomics analysis yielded a dose-response curve in principal component analysis space, and was able to detect exposure to D-serine and puromycin at much lower doses than standard clinical chemistry measures. Additionally, characteristic features in the urinary metabolite profiles could be ascertained as a function of dose. The results showed common features and some unique features in urinary metabolite profiles when analyzed by NMR and LC-MS, respectively.
