<p>Bacterial cystitis is one of the feline lower urinary tract diseases (FLUTDs). Polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as arachidonic acid (ARA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), are oxidized into various lipid mediators that modulate inflammation. Since the profile of lipid metabolites excreted in urine is useful for assessing inflammatory body conditions, we analyzed 126 types of urinary lipid metabolites in cats with bacterial cystitis. Using LC-MS/MS, we found that the levels of 11 metabolites were higher in the urine of cystitis cats than in the urine of healthy cats. In detail, the urinary levels of ARA, EPA, and DHA and eight of their metabolites were increased in cystitis cats. Focusing on the lipid oxidation pathway, the urinary levels of four cyclooxygenase-, three lipoxygenase-, and one cytochrome P450-dependent oxidated metabolites were increased in bacterial cystitis. These urinary lipid profiles can provide some insight into the pathology and future diagnosis of bacterial cystitis.</p>
