20110091929MEANS AND METHODS FOR ASSESSING LIVER ENZYME INDUCTION - 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. Finally, the present invention pertains to the use of a group of analytes or means for the determination thereof for the manufacture of a diagnostic device or composition for diagnosing the pro-pathological effect of liver enzyme induction in a subject. For each sex, a different metabolome pattern, i.e. a different set of analytes is disclosed. The liver enzyme induction markers are mainly selected from free fatty acids, but also include various phosphatidylcholines, galactose, 3- and 5-Methoxysphingosine, Cholesterol, Threonic acid, 1,2-Dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidyl-L-serine, Glycerol, Glycerophosphate, Dodecanol, myo-Inositol-2-monophosphate.04-21-2011
