| Research Abstract |
Recent pioneering studies have revealed that intestinal flora was an important factor to determine the host phenotype associated with lifestyle-related diseases. Moreover low level but continuous inflammation derived from the alteration of intestinal flora appears to contribute to the pathogenesis of these serious diseases. Therefore, in this study, we performed chemical and statistical analysis of intestinal flora and feces to identify the inflammation biomarkers. We examined conditions for the breeding, sample preparations, MS analyses, multivariate analyses, and etc. Using optimum condition, harvested samples were subjected to UPLC-TOF-MS or GC-EI-MS. Several MS ion peaks were detected as a candidate for inflammation biomarker. Based on these results, further study is in progress to identify inflammation biomarker in intestinal tract.
