Evaluation of radiation injury by 1H and 31P NMR of human urine

Abstract: 1H and 31P NMR techniques were applied to study the changes in metabolite profiles in human urine resulting from radiation exposure following the Chernobyl reactor accident. In cases of acute leukemia and different accumulated doses of external radiation (from 0.20 to 4.00 Sv), the proton spectra were classified on the basis of the peaks due to N-trimethyl groups, creatinine, citrate, glycine, and hippurate. Unidentified resonances were observed between 15.9 and 21.4 ppm in six phosphorus spectra of patients w… Show more

“…Previous studies have used nuclear magnetic resonance [24], gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) [25], or liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) [26] to measure metabolite levels after irradiation, and only a few employed capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS). These techniques have varying sensitivities, specificities, and detection limits.…”

“…One study, however, investigated possible radiation injury with no prior hypothesis except that signs of disturbances in cellular metabolism caused by radiation exposure after the Chernobyl reactor incident should be detectable in urine. 1 H and 31 P NMR analysis of human urine revealed some poorly defined changes in “ N -trimethyl groups” and in creatinine, citric acid, glycine and hippuric acid (24). …”

“…Variations in the metabolite concentrations noted in survivors were considerable, and some distortions were seen as a result of water suppression and the use of deuterium. In addition, some metabolites such as methylene were pH sensitive, leading to misassignments of resonances [160]. Overall, NMR offers some advantages that include non-destructive sample analysis, high reproducibility, and the ability to perform accurate quantification [154,161].…”
