Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo explore the essence of blood deficiency syndrome and the mechanism of the effects of siwutang based on the characteristic changes in metabolic profiles of C57 mice with blood deficiency induced by compound method of bleeding, starved feeding and exhausting before and after the treatment of Siwutang.
METHODThirty C57 mice were randomly divided into three groups of 10 animals: the control group and two blood deficiency model groups without or with siwutang treatment. The animals were sacrificed after induction by compound method of bleeding,starved feeding and exhausting for 10 days and the blood, spleen, thymus and bone marrow were obtained. The metabolic profiles of serum, aqueous and lipidic extracts of thymus, spleen and bone marrow were investigated using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The NMR spectra were integrated in segments of 0.01, normalized and then analyzed using SIMCA-P software to visualize the similarities and differences in metabolic profiles between these groups.
RESULTCompared with the control group, the model group contained different levels of lactate, choline, glucose, taurine, alanine, LDL, glycerin, UFA, creatinine, acetoacetate, glutamate and beta-hydroxybutyrate (beta-HB). In the Siwutang treated group, the above-mentioned changes were reversed.
CONCLUSIONThe disorder of energy metabolism, damage of lymphocyte, and disorder of immune function were observed in blood deficiency model by NMR-based-metabonomics method, and the Siwutang can improve these effects. Metabonomics may be a valuable tool in the pharmacological evaluation of siwutang.
