Here, we report second larger cohort 101) healthy 103), using gas chromatography...
Recent studies suggest that biofluid-based metabonomics may identify metabolite markers promising for colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnosis. We report here a follow-up replication study, after previous CRC aiming to distinct serum metabolic signature of with diagnostic potential. Serum metabolites from newly diagnosed patients (N = 101) and healthy subjects 102) were profiled using gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-TOFMS) ultraperformance liquid quadrupole (UPLC-QTOFMS)....
Our understanding of the bile acid metabolism is limited by fact that previous analyses have primarily focused on a selected few circulating acids; profiles liver and gastrointestinal tract pools are rarely investigated. Here, we determined how chronic ethanol consumption altered acids in multiple body compartments (liver, tract, serum) rats. Rats were fed modified Lieber-DeCarli liquid diet with 38% calories as (the amount equivalent 4–5 drinks humans). While conjugated predominated...
Chronic stress is closely linked to clinical depression, which could be assessed by a chronic unpredictable mild (CUMS) animal model. We present here GC/MS‐based metabolic profiling approach investigate neurochemical changes in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, thalamus, and remaining brain tissues. Multi‐criteria assessment for multivariate statistics identify differential metabolites between CUMS‐model rats versus healthy controls. This study demonstrates that significantly perturbed...
Abstract Purpose: Metabolic phenotyping has provided important biomarker findings, which, unfortunately, are rarely replicated across different sample sets due to the variations from analytical and clinical protocols used in studies. To date, very few metabolic hallmarks a given cancer type have been confirmed validated by use of metabolomic approach other modalities. Here, we report metabolomics study identify potential metabolite biomarkers colorectal with theranostic value. Experimental...
