We developed a new procedure for the comprehensive analysis of metabolites and enzymes involved in polyamine metabolism pathways. The procedure utilizes stable isotope-labeled polyamines and directly and precisely determines labeled products from enzymatic reactions by ESI-Q-TOF-MS. The activity of different enzymes could be determined in essentially the same manner by suitably adjusting the reaction conditions for each individual enzyme. We applied the procedure to extracts of regenerating rat liver and analyzed the changes in polyamine-metabolizing enzymes and polyamine contents during recovery from partial hepatectomy. A general outline of polyamine metabolism and information of polyamine dynamics were obtai... More

We applied the procedure to extracts of regenerating rat liver and analyzed the changes in polyamine-metabolizing enzymes and polyamine contents during recovery from partial hepatectomy. A general outline of polyamine metabolism and information of polyamine dynamics were obtained. This kind of comprehensive information would be valuable in unifying detailed but fragmentary information obtained through conventional analyses focusing on one or a few enzymes and on a limited aspect of polyamine metabolic pathway.
