Applications of metabolomics
What urine can tell about the metabolome
Biocrates enables reproducible quantitative metabolomics in urine samples, a biofluid of choice for biomarker discovery in medicine and biology.
Obesity and the microbiome
Metagenomics, metaproteomics and metabolomics create an exciting mix of approaches to understand systematic changes in an organism after external perturbations.
Does metabolic syndrome manifest itself differently?
An international team of scientists applied targeted metabolomics to deepen the mechanistic understanding of metabolic syndrome and its regional specificities.
Which metabolites tell your diet?
Uncovering the mechanism linking the Mediterranean diet with reduced risk for cardiometabolic diseases using targeted metabolomics.
Could probiotics replace antibiotics?
How can the use of antibiotics in animal farming be reduced? Probiotics might be a solution.
Make sure your drug fits to your cancer
The response of cancer cells to checkpoint inhibition therapy can be predicted using metabolomics.
Arginine metabolism: Targeted metabolomics and biochemical pathways
Metabolic syndrome is associated with changes in amino acid metabolites. The korean genome and epidemiology study finds involvement of arginase activity
Feature: MetaboINDICATOR and biogenic amines
Targeted metabolomics support the study of animal health. The diet of cows (high vs low energy) has influence on the metabolite levels of the offspring.
Gender differences in brain – revealed by metabolomics
Female and male mice may think differently. Targeted metabolomics reveals differences in brain chemistry between the two which might account for behavioral differences.
A metabolic profile of all-cause mortality risk
To predicting life expectancy standardized and reproducible scientific methods are needed. Metabolomics is one way to approach this question.
