Changes of plasma fasting carnitine ester profile in patients with ulcerative colitis

瞄准：与溃疡的 culitis (UC ) 并且与健康控制题目相比在成年病人决定血浆肉毒碱酉旨侧面。方法：用 ESI 三倍的四极双人脚踏车团分光术，肉毒碱酉旨侧面与 UC 和 44 匹配年龄、匹配性的健康控制在 44 个病人被测量。结果：在免费肉毒碱与 UC 和健康控制在病人之间铺平的 fasting 没有有效差量。禁食 propionyl-(0.331 +/- 0.019 对 0.392 +/- 0.017 micromol/L ) ， butyryl-(0.219 +/- 0.014 对 0.265 +/- 0.012 ) ，并且 isovalerylcarnitine (0.111 +/- 0.008 对 0.134 +/- 0.008 ) 层次在 UC 病人被减少。由对比，octanoyl-的水平( 0.147 +/- 0.009 对 0.114 +/- 0.008 )，decanoyl-( 0.180 +/- 0.012 对 0.137 +/- 0.008 )，myristoyl-( 0.048 +/- 0.003 对 0.039 +/- 0.003 )，palmitoyl-( 0.128 +/- 0.006 对 0.109 +/- 0.004 )，palmitoleyl-( 0.042 +/- 0.003 对 0.031 +/- 0.002 )并且 oleylcarnitine ( 0.183 +/- 0.007 对 0.163 +/- 0.007 ；P 【 0.05 在所有比较) 与 UC 在病人被增加。结论：我们的数据在 UC 病人建议肉毒碱酉旨的选择参与，可能由于他们的改变的新陈代谢。

AIM： To determine the plasma carnitine ester profile in adult patients with ulcerative culitis （UC） and compared with healthy control subjects. METHOD： Using ESI triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry, the carnitine ester profile was measured in 44 patients with UC and 44 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. RESULTS： There was no significant difference in the fasting free carnitine level between the patients with UC and the healthy controls. The fasting propionyl- （0.331 ± 0.019 vs 0.392 ± 0.017 μmol/L）, butyryl- （0.219 ± 0.014 vs 0.265 ± 0.012）, and isovalerylcarniUne （0.111 ± 0.008 vs 0.134 ± 0.008） levels were decreased in the UC patients. By contrast, the level of octanoyl- （0.147 ± 0.009 vs 0.114 ± 0.008）, decanoyl- （0.180 ± 0.012 vs 0.137 ± 0.008）, myristoyl- （0.048 ± 0.003 vs 0.039 ± 0.003）, palmitoyl- （0.128 ± 0.006 vs 0.109 ± 0.004）, palmitoleyl- （0.042±0.003 vs 0.031 ± 0.002） and oleylcarnitine （0.183 ± 0.007 vs 0.163 ± 0.007; P 〈 0.05 in all comparisons） were increased in the patients with UC. CONCLUSION： Our data suggest selective involvement of the carnitine esters in UC patients, probably due to their altered metabolism.
