Outline of Final Research Achievements

To search for biomarkers of heatstroke, we demonstrated by GC-MS/MS based plasma metabolic profiling that various endogenous metabolites changed with elevated body temperatures in heat-stressed animal models. We detected 72 metabolites, of which 18 metabolites (9 amino acids, 6 organic acids, and 3 monosaccharides) were found to be statistically correlated with rised body temperatures. These metabolites had a relationship with the energy productions. In addition, in order to understand the effect of postmortem interval (PMI) on those metabolites in plasma, we investigated the change of metabolites with time after death towards the future forensic casework. As a result, we constructed a PLS regression model which could successfully predict each PMI.
