摘要

To investigate the antipyretic mechanism of Herba Ephedrae (Eph)-Ramulus Cinnamomi (RC) herb pair on yeast-induced pyrexia in rats. Totally 30 qualified male SD rats were randomly assigned to the normal control (NC) group

the pyrexia model (model) group

the Eph

RC and Eph-RC treatment groups by a random digital table

6 rats in each group. Each rat received a 20% aqueous suspension of yeast (10 mL/kg) except the NC group. The 3 treatment groups were administered 8.1

5.4 and 13.5 g/kg Eph

RC and Eph-RC respectively at 5 and 12 h after yeast injection

the NC group and the model groups were administered equal volume of distilled water. Rectal temperatures were measured at 0

24 and 30 h and urine was collected prior to yeast injection and at 6

and 36 h after yeast injection. Then urine metabolomic profiling by gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry

coupled with multivariate statistical analysis and pattern recognition techniques were used to explore the antipyretic effects of Eph-RC. Partial least squares discriminate analysis was used to analyze the metabolomics dataset including classification and regression in metabolomics plot profiling. Compared with the NC group

rectal temperatures were significantly higher in the model group (P<0.01)

while 3 treatment groups decreased significantly compared with the model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Rectal temperatures of Eph-RC-treated rats started to go down at 6 h

and markedly decreased at 8

18 and 24 h (P<0.05 or P<0.01)

while those of the Eph and RC groups had decreased firstly at 8 h and were markedly lower at 12 h (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Seventeen potential biomarkers related to pyrexia were confirmed and identified

including pyruvic acid

L-phenylalanine

L-tyrosine

phenylacetic acid

hippuric acid

succinic acid

citrate and so on. Eight potential alterations of metabolic pathways including phenylalanine metabolism

citrate cycle

tryptophan metabolism

biosynthesis of valine

leucine and isoleucine

were identified in relation to the antipyretic effects of Eph-RC using MetPA software. The antipyretic effect of Eph-RC herb pair on yeast-induced pyrexia in rats involved correction of perturbed amino acid

fatty acid

and carbohydrate metabolism according to the metabolic pathway analysis with MetPA.
