Metabolomics of Mice with Type 2 Diabetes and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Treated by Acupuncture

Table 4

NCG compared with liver differences in MCG; MCG and ATG mice with metabolite changes.

No	Metabolites	MCG vs NCG			ATG vs MCG
		VIP	value	Change^a	VIP	value	Change^b
1	UDP-N-acetylglucosamine	1.03	0.03	↑	1.04	0.04	↓
2	Adenosine	1.06	0.05	↓	1.03	0.03	↑
3	Glutamate	1.39	0.02	↑	1.54	0.04	↓
4	Isoleucine	1.27	0.02	↓	1.50	0.04	↑
5	ATP	1.19	0.03	↓	1.45	0.01	↑
6	3-Hydroxybutyric acid	1.70	0.05	↑	1.42	0.05	↓
7	NADP^+	1.13	0.05	↓	1.35	0.04	↑
8	Leucine	1.08	0.06	↓	1.31	0.01	↑

Note. The VIP value > 1, a↑ indicates that compared with NCG, the average integral area of the substance at this chemical displacement increases, ↓ is reduced; b↑ indicates that compared with MCG, the average integral area of the material at this chemical displacement increases, ↓ is decreased.
