Metabolomics is the comprehensive study of small-molecule metabolites. Obtaining a wide
coverage of the metabolome is challenging because of the broad range of physicochemical …

Metabolomics is a branch of 'omics' sciences that utilises a couple of analytical tools for the
identification of small molecules (metabolites) in a given sample. The overarching goal of …

While conventional nutrition research has yielded biomarkers such as doubly labeled water
for energy metabolism and 24-h urinary nitrogen for protein intake, a critical need exists for …

We are in the midst of a shift in biological research paradigms from reductionist
