  • Publication number: 20110163226
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to the field of toxicological assessments for risk stratification of chemical compounds. Specifically, it relates to a method for diagnosing liver toxicity. It also relates to a method of determining whether a compound is capable of inducing such liver toxicity in a subject and to a method of identifying a drug for treating liver toxicity. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a data collection comprising characteristic values of at least five metabolites, a data storage medium comprising said data collection, and a system and a device for diagnosing liver toxicity. Finally, the present invention pertains to the use of a group of metabolites or means for the determination thereof for the manufacture of a diagnostic device or composition for diagnosing liver toxicity in a subject. For each sex, a different metabolome pattern, i.e. a different set of analytes is disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20110091929
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to the field of toxicological assessments for risk stratification of chemical compounds. Specifically, it relates to a method for diagnosing the pro-pathological effect of compounds which are inducing liver enzymes. It also relates to a method of determining whether a compound is capable of exhibiting pro-pathological effects on the liver by enzyme induction in a subject and to a method of identifying a drug for treating the pro-pathological effect of liver enzyme induction. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a data collection comprising characteristic values of at least five analytes, a data storage medium comprising said data collection, and a system and a device for diagnosing the pro-pathological effect of liver enzyme induction.

  • Publication number: 20090263826
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing hemolytic anemia or a predis-position thereof. It also relates to a method of determining whether a compound is capable of inducing hemolytic anemia in a subject and to a method of identifying a drug for treating hemolytic anemia. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a data collection comprising characteristic values of metabolites, a data storage medium comprising said data collection, and a system and a device for diagnosing hemolytic anemia. Finally, the present invention pertains to the use of a group of metabolites or means for the determination thereof for the manufacture of a diagnostic device or composition for diagnosing hemolytic anemia in a subject.
