Objective: To elucidate the characteristic patterns of salivary metabolic network instability in IS patients, reveal the association mechanism between amino acid-lipid-nucleotide metabolic cascade imbalance and stroke progression, and provide experimental basis and translational pathway for the development of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies based on metabolic microenvironment regulation. Methods: This study focused on salivary metabolomics. A prospective cohort design (40 IS patients and 30 healthy controls) was combined with high-resolution liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to systematically analyze the molecular characteristics and toxicological mechanisms of metabolic disorders in stroke. Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) and game theory feature weighting method were used to screen differential metabolites,
