Metabolic Changes in Paraquat Poisoned Patients and Support Vector Machine Model of Discrimination

Abstract: Numerous people die of paraquat (PQ) poisoning every year in the world. Although several studies regarding paraquat (PQ) poisoning have been conducted, the metabolic changes in plasma remain unknown. In this study, the metabolomics of 15 PQ poisoned patients with plasma PQ concentrations in excess of 0.1 µg/ mL and 16 healthy volunteers were investigated. The plasma samples were evaluated through the use of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and analyzed by partial least-squares discriminant analysis… Show more

“…Since Wang et al [44] reported that the plasma levels of cholesterol significantly increased in PQ poisoned patients in comparison to healthy volunteers, we hypothesize that PQ toxicity may also be associated with the changes of cholesterol metabolism. Considerable evidence indicates that LXRs are crucial regulators of cholesterol metabolism and play an important role in the pathway of reverse cholesterol transport, in which excess cholesterol is transported in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles from peripheral cells to the liver for excretion in bile [45].…”
