Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for selecting a menopausal biomarker using statistical analysis and a novel menopausal biomarker.

Description

Methods for selecting menopausal biomarkers using metabolomics and methods for selecting menopausal biomarkers in animal models.

The present invention relates to a method for selecting a menopausal biomarker using statistical analysis and a novel menopausal biomarker.

Menopause is a natural phenomenon that comes with aging. In menopause, menopausal symptoms such as menopause are often accompanied by a tendency to be easily perceived. However, menopausal symptoms are highly variable. In the case of adolescents, menstrual disorders, including facial flushing, are experienced as the secretion of estrogens falls. This is an artificial hormone replacement therapy can be controlled to some extent, before the symptoms appear to effectively prevent the need to develop a way to easily diagnose menopausal status is required.

On the other hand, studies on the diagnosis and prediction of diseases and environmental changes are being actively carried out by analyzing the hormone as a whole by the recent development of metabolomics. Once hormone replacement therapy has been actively prescribed for the purpose of improving menopausal symptoms by artificially administering estrogen, it has been observed that adverse effects that cause the development of female cancer such as breast cancer have been observed. Therefore, in the case of female menopausal women, studies of the overall hormone changes in menopausal women can be used to develop hormone replacement therapies or other therapies that have less side effects if estrogens, as well as their precursors or other hormones, .

Ovariectomy operation (OVX) Before the operation, 40 animals were weighed and weighed 1 week, and 15 animals were used as negative controls and the remaining 25 animals were treated with OVX. The average weight of the animals was about 155 g. Anesthetics were anesthetized by mixing 3: 1 volume ratio of ketamine (Yuhan) and Rompun (Korea Bayer). After anesthesia, the abdomen of the rats was incised, and ovaries were removed by ovaries, tubers and fats. After a week of recovery from the operation, all animals were weighed and weighed in the manner described above for up to 8 weeks with a weekly cycle.

After 12 weeks of ovariectomy, weights of heart, lung, stomach, liver, uterus, spleen, kidney and bladder were measured (n = 7) by sacrificing the animals in the negative control group and ovariectomized group Respectively. As a result, the liver weight (p <0.05) and uterus (p <0.01) decreased significantly in the ovariectomized group. In ovariectomized group, weight gain was faster than normal control group.

After the anesthesia, the abdomen of the rats was opened, and ovaries were removed by ovaries, ovaries, and fat from both sides. After a week of recovery from the operation, urine was collected for a total of 8 weeks for one week for all animals.

As a result (FIG. 1), it was confirmed that the metabolism pattern between the control group and the ovariectomy group was clearly distinguished.

In addition, metabolic pathway analysis using SIMCA P + showed that the pattern of metabolism proceeded after ovariectomy (FIG. 2). 2, it was confirmed that the change in metabolite pattern was significantly different from one week after ovariectomy.

In addition, using the values in the above table, the content of progesterone hormones 17a-Hydroxy-pregnenolone and 17a-Hydroxy-Progesterone (FIG. 9-a) and the estrogen hormones Estrone and Estradiol The change is plotted in FIG. 9 below. As can be seen from FIG. 9, it was confirmed that the amount of hormones selected according to the present invention actually varies according to ovariectomy.

On the other hand, the change in the content of progesterone hormone over time after ovariectomy using the values in the above table is graphically shown in FIG. 10 below. As can be seen from FIG. 10, it was confirmed that the hormone selected according to the present invention actually shows a change in content according to ovariectomy.

Using the values in the above table, the change in the content of frenomnuron hormone over time after ovariectomy was graphically plotted in FIG. 11 below. As can be seen from FIG. 11, it was confirmed that the hormone selected according to the present invention actually shows a change in content according to ovariectomy.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the actual scope of the present invention will be defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
