title: Correlative and quantitative 1H NMR-based metabolomics reveals specific metabolic pathway disturbances in diabetic rats.
abstract: Type 1 diabetes was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats using streptozotocin. Rat urine samples (8 diabetic and 10 control) were analyzed by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The derived metabolites using univariate and multivariate statistical analysis were subjected to correlative analysis. Plasma metabolites were measured by a series of bioassays. A total of 17 urinary metabolites were identified in the 1H NMR spectra and the loadings plots after principal components analysis. Diabetic rats showed significantly increased levels of glucose (P < 0.00001), alanine (P < 0.0002), lactate (P < 0.05), ethanol (P < 0.05), acetate (P < 0.05), and fumarate (P < 0.05) compared with controls. Plasma assays showed higher amounts of glucose, urea, triglycerides, and thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances in diabetic rats. Striking differences in the Pearson's correlation of the 17 NMR-detected metabolites were observed between control and diabetic rats. Detailed analysis of the altered metabolite levels and their correlations indicate a significant disturbance in the glucose metabolism and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and a contribution from gut microbial metabolism. Specific perturbed metabolic pathways include the glucose-alanine and Cori cycles, the acetate switch, and choline metabolism. Detection of the altered metabolic pathways and bacterial metabolites using this correlative and quantitative NMR-based metabolomics approach should help to further the understanding of diabetes-related mechanisms.
