Abstract

Our previous study has shown that a single dose of S-1-propenylcysteine (S1PC) exerted an antihypertensive effect in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), while its mode of action remained to be further investigated. The aim of this study was to explore the potential mechanism of the antihypertensive effect of S1PC in SHR using a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based metabolomic approach. Blood samples were serially collected from SHR after a single oral administration of S1PC (6.5 mg/kg body weight). The metabolomics data acquired from the LC-MS analysis of plasma samples were processed using principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). In addition, the SHR were treated with S1PC or histidine (10 mg/kg body weight) with and without intravenous preinjection of thioperamide, a histamine H3 receptor antagonist. The blood pressure of SHR was measured by the tail-cuff method at different times after administration. In the PLS-DA score plots, the clusters of the S1PC groups were clearly or partly separated from those of the control groups at 1.5 and 3 h after administration, indicating the metabolic profiles were substantially altered by the S1PC treatment at these tim...Continue Reading
