The biochemical consequences of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) on the systemic and gastrointestinal metabolism have not yet been fully elucidated, but could help to better understand the disease pathogenesis. In the current study, metabolic variations during the development of chronic intestinal inflammation were investigated through the use of metabolic profiling of different animal models of IBD.The metabolite profiling approach included holistic proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and targeted liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry of plasma and intestinal extracts over time.Taken together, these results provide novel insights into IBD-related metabolite alterations, especially of specific lipid-dependent processes, during inflammatory states. This demonstrates the potential of metabonomics for investigating the mechanistic basis of IBD and will provide novel avenues for management and therapy of IBD.
