Abstract:

A urinary metabonomics method based on rapid resolusion liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(RRLC-MS) was developed to study the effect mechanism of glimepiride on type 2 diabetes mellitus. With multivariate statistical analysis of urinary metabolite profiles, a clear separation between streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetic rats and those treated with glimepiride was achieved. Two significantly changed metabolites have been identified and used to explain the mechanism. The results show that the possible effect mechanism of glimepiride on type 2 diabetes is involved in amino acid metabolism.
