Abstract

In recent years, Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy has had an increasingly important role in the field of pathology and diagnosis of disease states. In the current study, FT-IR spectroscopy together with cluster analysis were used as a diagnostic tool in the discrimination of diabetic samples from control ones in rat kidney plasma membrane apical sides (brush-border membranes), liver microsomal membranes and Extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and Soleus (SOL) skeletal muscle tissues. A variety of alterations in the spectral parameters, such as frequency and signal intensity/area was observed in diabetic tissues and membranes compared to the control samples. Based on these spectral variations, using cluster analysis successful differentiation between diabetic and control groups was obtained in different spectral regions. The results of this current study further revealed the power and sensitivity of FT-IR spectroscopy in precise and automated diagnosis of diabetes. © 2010 by WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
