To investigate changes in serum and hepatic levels of amino acids in ALD and to provide novel evidence and approaches for the prevention and treatment of ALD. Twenty specific pathogen-free SD male rats were devided into two groups, ten for the control group, and ten for the model group. Serum biochemical markers, including alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, laminin and hyaluronidase were measured. Histological analysis of liver tissues was performed. Serum and liver amino acids levels were quantitatively determined by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (UPLC-TQMS)-based targeted metabolomics. Compared with the normal group, ALD rats showed an obvious increase in the levels of β-alanine, alanine, serine, ornithine, tyrosine and the tyrosine ratio, while there was a decrease in arginine levels, the BTR ratio and Fischer’s ratio in serum. Additionally, ALD rats exhibited a significant increase in the levels of cysteine and putrescine, while there was a decrease in sarcosine, β-alanine, serine, proline, valine, threonine, ornithine, lysine, histidine, tyrosine, symmetric dimethylarginine, methionine, isoleucine and methionine-sulfoxide levels in liver tissues compared with the normal group. The serum and liver amino acids showed significant changes in ALD rats and can be considered as potential specific diagnostic biomarkers for ALD.
