A Primary Study of Serum Metabonomic in Patients with Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation / 医学研究杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the changes of metabolites in serum of paroxysmal patients with atrial fibrillation based on metabonomics.Methods The metabolites of serum in 15 patients with atrial fibrillation (case group) and 20 healthy subjects (control group) were measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) group.The metabolic profile difference in the two groups was analyzed and compared by orthogonal design method (OPLS).Results The metabolic profile of the control and case groups was significantly distinguished,and 29 statistically significant differences metabolites were identified using commercially available metabolite libraries (such as the Wiley and NIST mass pools) and the standard metabolite library established in our laboratory,The areas under the ROC curve of 29 metabolites were calculated.The area under the curve of glycerol was 0.937,the area under the serine curve was 0.853,the area under the curve of aspartic acid was 0.933,the area of threonine was 0.823,the area of tryptophan was 1.Conclusion There exist differences in serum of sma] l molecular metabolites between patients with atrial fibrillation and normal healthy people.Glycerol,serine,aspartic acid,threonine and tryptophan of serum in patients with atrial fibrillation may be biomarkers of diagnosis of atrial fibrillation.
