Background: Clinical findings have shown a negative correlation between the severity of depressive symptoms and serum uric acid levels in men, yet the role of metabolic regulation in the pathophysiology of depression remains largely unknown. Methods: In this study, we utilized an acute restraint-stress-induced male rat model of depression to investigate biochemical changes through NMR-based metabolomics combined with serum biochemical analysis. Additionally, we employed qPCR, immunoblotting, and...

Investigation of the Potential Material Basis and Mechanism of Astragali Radix Against Adriamycin-Induced Nephropathy Model Rat by (1)H NMR and MS-Based Untargeted Metabolomics Analysis
Astragali Radix (AR) is one of the monarch drugs of Fangji Huangqi decoction and has the effects of inducing diuresis to alleviate edema, tonifying and strengthening the body. However, there is a paucity of research regarding the effective fraction and the underlying metabolic mechanism of AR on nephrotic syndrome (NS). This work aims to elucidate the potential mechanisms of AR treating NS, as well as to...

[NMR paper] NMR identification of a conserved Drp1 cardiolipin-binding motif essential for stress-induced mitochondrial fission
NMR identification of a conserved Drp1 cardiolipin-binding motif essential for stress-induced mitochondrial fission
Mitochondria form tubular networks that undergo coordinated cycles of fission and fusion. Emerging evidence suggests that a direct yet unresolved interaction of the mechanoenzymatic GTPase dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) with mitochondrial outer membrane-localized cardiolipin (CL), externalized under stress conditions including mitophagy, catalyzes essential mitochondrial hyperfragmentation. Here, using a comprehensive set of structural, biophysical, and cell biological...

1H NMR metabolomics identification of markers of hypoxia-induced metabolic shifts in a breast cancer model system
1H NMR metabolomics identification of markers of hypoxia-induced metabolic shifts in a breast cancer model system
Abstract Hypoxia can promote invasive behavior in cancer cells and alters the response to therapeutic intervention as a result of changes in the expression many genes, including genes involved in intermediary metabolism. Although metabolomics technologies are capable of simultaneously measuring a wide range of metabolites in an untargeted manner, these methods have been relatively under utilized in the study of cancer cell responses to hypoxia. Thus, 1H NMR metabolomics was...
