Urine proteomics was applied to explore whether the effect of startle can be detected in urine. A combination of natural enemy odor and sound stimulation was used to establish the rat startle model. Urine samples were collected before and after startle, and urine proteomes before-after startle of each rat were compared individually. Regulatory subunits of glutamate-cysteine ligase was identified as the sole differential protein among all five startled rats. To our surprise, its functional partner catalytic subunits of glutamate-cysteine ligase was also identified in four out of five rats as differential protein. When comparing before-after startle as two groups, 22 differential proteins were identified which represent biological pathways including neurotransmitter transport and glucose transmembrane transport.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
