Abstract: Objective To evaluate therapeutic effects of Sini decoction (SND) on hypothyroidism based on serum meta-bonomics method .Methods Twenty-four rats were randomly divided into three groups including sham group ,surgery-induced hypothyroid model group and SND-treated group .The SND-treated group was given SND for 4 weeks .After 4 weeks ,the ser-um samples of each rat were collected and analyzed by UHPLC-Q-TOFMS ,pattern recognition analysis of metabolomics differ-ences among the groups and therapeutic effects of SND were evaluated .Results Total of 9 metabolites were identified through serum metabonomics analysis .It was showed that there was a possible mechanism that hypothyroidism was mainly involved in citrate cycle ,phenylalanine metabolism ,sphingolipid metabolism and phospholipid metabolism and the damage of hypothyroid-ism was reversed by SND .Conclusion SND administration could provide satisfactory effects on hypothyroidism through par-tially regulating the perturbed citrate cycle ,phenylalanine metabolism and phospholipid metabolism .
